Are Hair Loss Drugs Required for Transplanted Hair to Grow?

After [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgery, are there any drugs that the [tag]hair loss[/tag] doctors recommend or prescribe to get a good amount of [tag]hair growth[/tag]  or is it just surgery that causes the new hairs to grow?

The good news is, [tag]transplanted[/tag] hair will grow on it’s own and does not require any use of hair loss  or any other kind of medication.   Some physicians believe however, that using  Rogaine 5% (minoxidil)  for the first 3 months after [tag]hair replacement[/tag] surgery might help “jump start” early growth however, it is not required for the hair implants to grow.  

[tag]Hair loss drugs[/tag] such as [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag])  and [tag]Rogaine[/tag] with [tag]minoxidil[/tag]  however, are typically used to help maintain any “native” or natural hair you might have left.   Remember that hair transplant surgery does nothing to stop the progressive and unpredictable nature of [tag]male pattern baldness[/tag].
