learn Hair Transplant

What precautions should be taken after a hair transplant? Clinics commonly advise avoiding strenuous activity, smoking, alcohol, direct sun and touching the grafts while the scalp heals. Any change to a prescribed medicine, including blood thinners, should be agreed with the doctor who prescribed it.

learn Latanoprost

What are the possible side effects of using latanoprost on the scalp? No study has measured the side effects of latanoprost on the scalp. The reactions listed here are extrapolated from the eye-drop label — irritation, burning, itching and skin darkening — plus the systemic reactions the label records at ophthalmic doses; absorption over a whole scalp has never been measured.

learn Minoxidil

What are the side effects of minoxidil, and can oral minoxidil affect your heart? Minoxidil can cause side effects, and because it was designed as a blood-pressure drug, some of them involve the heart and circulation. Published studies of low-dose oral minoxidil describe mostly mild problems, but fluid around the heart, pericarditis and other serious events have been reported, and the long-term picture is still being studied. Do not start, stop or change minoxidil without a doctor, and if you develop chest pain, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, fainting, swelling or rapid weight gain while using it, stop and seek medical care.

learn Finasteride

What does finasteride do to the female body? Find out its side effects. Finasteride is not approved for hair loss in women anywhere; the one controlled trial, in 137 postmenopausal women at 1 mg daily, found no benefit over placebo, while smaller uncontrolled studies at higher off-label doses report some improvement. It is contraindicated in pregnancy and crushed or broken tablets must not be handled.
