Doctors' Response

these medications might potentially lead to any complications or issues?

Considering a hair transplant is on my mind, but I'm curious if there are any ongoing medications I need to take, and whether these medications might potentially lead to any complications or issues? Greetings, I am considering a hair transplant, but I am currently taking several medications regularly: Lithuril 300mg (4 tablets), Wellbutrin 300mg (1 tablet), Levetrol 100mg (1 tablet), Zyprexa 15mg (1 tablet), and Lamictal 200mg (1 tablet). I am uncertain if these medications could potentially impact the hair transplant process. My psychiatrist hasn't been able to provide a definitive answer. I sincerely appreciate any insights you can offer in advance.

Hello, once your treatment has progressed a bit, it would be a good idea to consider planning a hair transplant operation. The medications you're currently using might affect hair growth. Wishing you good health ahead.

Hello, the medications you're taking don't prevent you from getting a hair transplant. However, they might make it harder for new hair to grow and for the transplanted grafts to attach. This could potentially lower the success rate of the procedure. Nonetheless, a detailed examination is incredibly important.

You have manic-depressive disorder and hypothyroidism. Before proceeding with any treatment, it's important to conduct a series of tests, including blood lithium levels and TSH levels. Additionally, a psychological evaluation is required. Please visit our clinic in person to get started.

Hello, we need to learn the names of the drugs used by our patients who want to have hair transplantation but have to use drugs continuously. Medications used for diseases such as blood pressure and diabetes do not pose a problem for hair transplantation. At the same time, the use of antidepressants may continue in the same routine during this period. Only blood thinners such as aspirin, coraspirin and their counterparts should be discontinued a week before, as they increase bleeding during the operation. Our patients with heart disease should definitely share their drug names in the consultation.
