Propecia for life?

[Jack Fisher, MD]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I had to continue to use Propecia for life after I have a hair transplant. Is it really necessary?

Thanks in advance!

Propecia is recommended for those who want to maintain the hair they have. Once a person stops taking Propecia, they can loose the hair Propecia has helped them maintain. Propecia would not be recommended for hair that has been transplanted; since transplanted hair is relatively permanent.

Winston,

As long as you have any natural or native hair left to save, you'll need the medication.
