Nizoral after transplant. Could I have damaged the transplanted follicles?

Cb9987
Hi. I had a hair transplant a few weeks ago. I started using Nizoral 2% at 15 days after. (I thought I could use any shampoo after 14 days). However I have read since online that Nizoral should not be used until at least a month. Now I'm a bit scared. Could I have damaged the transplanted follicles?
