sreen,
Spex provided a great link. The purpose of hair loss medication is to help stop the progression of male pattern baldness. Transplanted hair is permanent whether you take hair loss medication or not. The chance you will need subsequent hair restoration surgeries however, may increase if your hair loss continues. Hair loss medication may slow it down or stop it.

An anology would be a flower garden. YOu might plant flowers in a garden that grows but it will grow and continue to grow much better with fertilizer/mircle grow/ect.
Much like the hair, HT will have greater Long Term success with continued meds-- such as Propecia and Rogaine (plus in my opinion you are protecting your investment). As far as the pain meds during post op (if this was your question other then perm meds) then it various by person (some for couple weeks others only couple days) SMOOTHY Dr. Shapiro Propecia/Rogaine xtra MSM/Saw Palmetto/Zinc Nioxin Shampoo line Zrii 3oz Daily |

IMO, finasteride and minoxdil should be used right up to surgery with minoxidil being discontinued and resumed within a few day after surgery.

We advise patients to take Propecia right on through the perioperative period. It won't cause any trouble.
We advise guys to come off of minoxidil 5 days preop and start back 5 days postop. Since the mechanism of action of minoxidil is not certain and there is likely a vasodilation (expanding of the blood vessels) phenomenon, we want folks off of it preop so that bleeding is not enhanced. Dense packing and bleeding are arch-enemies. We also don't want people applying material to the scalp for 5 days postop for fear that some guys would be too vigorous and pull out grafts.
