After FUE hair transplant do you continue using Minoxidil?

The whole premise behind the use of medical therapy is to help you with retention and perhaps enhancement of the native hair.  So, after doing your do diligence, you do decide to move forward with the med, it is for you to stay on it forever.  If you stop, you will lose what you would have lost. So it does not do you any good to start and stop.  A waste of money and time.

Ask your doctor about the use pre and post op.  Typically 7 days but each clinic has its own protocol.

5% is recommended for men.  I would use the foam as the liquid is greasy.

When you say med are you referring to Minoxidil? 
By using Minoxidil daily does it ruin your original hair, the quality of them?

Yes. Actually - to any of the modalities available to combat this debilitating condition.

The recommended dosage is twice a day to experience the full effect. So using daily should not be an issue unless you are experiencing some skin condition.
