Propecia for life?
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!

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

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.
