I've been taking oral minoxidil for quite some time and I asked my dr. whether to stop taking it prior to the surgery. I was advised to continue taking it (5mgs) before the surgery, the day of the surgery and afterwards. This really seems to be against everything I've read online regarding taking minoxidil prior to a hair transplant. Everywhere I read it appears to be advised to stop it 2 weeks prior (or maybe this is for topical usage only?) Am I fine to continue taking the pill?
