Regular Member Gavinlee Posted November 13, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 13, 2023 Hi everyone, what have people been told (or learnt independently) about how many days pre-HT you should stop oral minoxidil and then how many days post-HT you can get back on it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted November 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2023 It’s really going to vary between doctors. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member duchaine Posted November 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2023 tipically, you should stop it 4-5 days before surgery, to avoid excessive bleeding. When the grafts are fixed (typically 48 hours) you can use it again. Some docs suggest to wait longer. I waited 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted November 13, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 13, 2023 I was told by my surgeon to cease one week prior to surgery and to recommence a few days afterwards. Best to speak to your surgeon about this. GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
