I have been taking Avodart for 8 weeks now and I am noticing a side effect. My hair is growing extremely slow while on it. Prior to starting Avodart, I was cutting my hair every 3 weeks and trimming my beard every 3 days. It now takes 6 weeks before my hair needs cutting and 7-10 days for my beard trimming. Is this a sign that the medication is working? I am also wondering if it will slow down my transplant growth. After my first two sessions, my transplanted hair started sprouting at around the 3-month mark. I am really curious to see what occurs this time. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks for any info on this.
