1. Are heavy medications after hair transplantation can upset the patient’s stomach?
After hair transplantation, many surgeons frequently prescribe numerous medications for hair
restoration. These medicines consist of: ache and pain medications, steroids, and antibiotics. All the pain
killers, such as hydrocodone and oxycodone, are very common and frequently use by the patients.
However, due to the patient’s condition some surgeons recommend anti-inflammatory steroids and
antibiotics for scalp. But these medicines can cause stomach cramp and digestive problems.
Frequent and common side effects of pain pills are including slowed digestion and constipation. Now
come to the strip surgery (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery), in this surgery surgeon may prescribe steroids
can cause scar stretching, influence the protective lining of the stomach. These steroid medicines block
the production of the protecting barrier lining and expose the sensitive stomach tissue to irritating acid.
This frequently effects in a “troubling” stomach pain or the sensation of “acid reflux.”

2. Antibiotics are planned and made to kill harmful bacterial organisms. When the body is contaminated by
unknown bacteria, these antibiotics will defend your internal system. These antibiotics only targets on
the harmful bacteria but, some time these medications can to cause digestive problems like “cramps”
abdominal pain and diarrhea.
If you experience or feel any of these indications after taking the post-operative drugs, please speak to
your hair transplant doctor immediately. The surgeon will likely instruct you to discontinue taking the
medicines and may even suggest further evaluation from a chief care doctor or a gastro-intestinal
specialist. The gastro-intestinal specialist examines your temporary, medication-induced digestive issues
and gives you the best cure management prescription.
