Regular Member shahswap Posted January 5, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hello, I underwent 2600 grafts FUT done last week. I have posted pictures you can look at in my profile. I have never taken any medications for hair loss before. I have level 4 of hair loss. I have been given below prescription: 1) Mupirocin Ointment for Sutured Area for 2 weeks 2) Hexilak Silicon Gel for Scar Modulation for 2 months (Start this 2 weeks after surgery) 3) Folliderm (Biotin and Mineral Tablets) for 3 months (Start this 1 week after surgery) 4) Finasteride Tablets 1 mg for lifetime (Start this 1 week after surgery) 5) Minoxidil & Aminexil Topical Solution 5% for lifetime (Start this 1 week after surgery) I want to know if this prescription is common or if anything is missing? I want to know what everyone else is taking as this medications are for lifetime. I want to prevent hairloss, possibly save damaged hair, possibly grow hair in top or temple area, improve thickness,etc. I want to know what everyone takes? Are this medications available in US over the counter or do I need prescription for it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I would be interested in knowing the reason why you were told to wait one week to start taking the Finasteride.
