I've had a FUE hair transplant 3 and a half weeks ago. The surgeon asked me to apply 'Follica Medicinal Hair Tincture' on the transplanted area twice a day, starting from 16 days after the surgery till about 5-7 months.
The composition of this medicine is:
Benzyl Nicotinate 0.2% w/v
Vitamin K 0.2% w/v
Salicylic Acid I. P. 0.1% w/v
Alcohol(95%) I. P. 61% v/v
Colour Tartrazine

The surgeon tells me that this will help thicken growing (and existing) hair. Even if I believe that a short term effect like this could take place during the period of application, I remain very skeptical that this would have any long term/permanent effect though the surgeon says that it would indeed be the case, and that I should not discontinue usage till at least 5 months.
Has anyone else been prescribed any such thing? And do any people on the forum with medical training believe that this could have any lasting benefits?
