Regular Member Kurse196 Posted February 16 Regular Member Share Posted February 16 Hey all, Ive been on fin and topical min for the last 3 years with great results. After months of considerations I've finally decided to a HT with Dr Gur of Fuecapilar. I've been considering switching from topical min to oral min due to ease of just taking a pill + people reporting better results. My question is is it safe to do this now (1 month prior to surgery) or should I wait till after the transplant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 16 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 16 @Kurse196 the reason minoxidil is ceases prior to surgery is so that the medication doesn’t cause any excess bleeding during surgery. 👍 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kurse196 Posted February 16 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 16 (edited) @Gatsby @Maorizio to clarify I am stopping minoxidil (oral or topical) 1 week prior as thats what my surgeon (Dr Gurr) told me. As I am still a month out from surgery (3 weeks of min application) I was curious if it just made sense to do the switch now given I was going to switch post surgery anyways.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 16 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 16 I’m not a doctor but I would switch now if it were me. You’re going to cease the drug one week prior to surgery and switch at some point anyway. All the best. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
