Currently, the typical regimen for patients undergoing transplant surgery is either minoxidil and/or finasteride -or possibly dutasteride. A word of caution with all current drug-based options is the potential for negative side effects. Alternatively, in the past decade a series of hair loss treatments have been developed containing natural compounds and phytochemicals. These generally offer an excellent safety profile, however, with rare exception, they remain largely unsupported by peer-reviewed data.
