Medication after your hair transplant

Should you experience some headache after the procedure, you can take 1-2 Alvedon as needed for pain relief.

Avoid drugs such as Ipren, Treo or Aspirin for up to 48 hours after your hair transplant. They contain a substance called acetylsalicylic acid, which has a blood-thinning effect and increases the risk of bleeding.

If you have transplanted over an area that has no blood supply, such as a scar, we may instead give you Aspirin to stimulate the blood supply to that area to help the hair follicles to grow firmly.

To minimise the risk of an infection associated with your procedure, you should take antibiotics for the first 3 days after your hair transplant.

Day 1: 1 pill in the clinic and 1 tablet in the evening
Day 2: 1 pill in the morning and evening
Day 3: 1 pill in the morning and evening

To reduce the risk of swelling after the procedure, you will be given cortisone for the first few days.

Day 1: 6 pills in the clinic
Day 2: 4 pills in the morning
Day 3: 2 pills in the morning
