It is best to go back to your doctor for medication dosing and issues.  Your doctor needs to prescribe the medication and give you instructions on how to take it.  If you accidentially dislodged 2 grafts, it should not be an issue in the grand scheme of things.

For finasteride, you may divide  it into 4 pieces and taking 1 piece a daily .Accidentally  scratching after 30 days , does not cause any damage.

1. At the 30 day mark post op there should be no issues of grafts coming out.2. 5 mg Finasteride can be taken by cutting it into 4 pieces and taking 1 piece a day. Or some people cut the pill in half and take a half of a pill every other day. It will balance out either way.Note: Do not let women who are pregnant handle these pills whatsoever or help you cut them.

At 30 days, grafts should not come out. When you use a 5mg pill of finasteride, you can cut it into quarters and take 1/4 pill every day
