Bernstein M.D. http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/dev/newblog/286/transplants-and-propecia/ Q: If I get transplants, do I still have to continue taking Propecia?

A: Yes, you should.

You do not need finasteride (Propecia) for the hair transplant to work, or the transplanted hair to continue to grow, but finasteride can decrease further hair loss.

Bernstein M.D. http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/dev/newblog/72/taking-propecia-following-a-hair-transplant/ Q: I have heard that you should take Propecia for 6 to 12 months following a hair transplant. Is this correct?

A: I would only use Propecia if you plan to continue the medication long-term.

That said, Propecia — the brand name of the hair loss drug finasteride — is very helpful in preventing further hair loss. I do recommend that patients who have hair loss stay on the medicine for an extended period, regardless of whether or not they decide to have a hair transplant.
