Hello
Thanks for the query.
The medication provided to you is perfect.
Books mention that finax rarely has a side effect of sexual impotency however in practice I have not seen any such side effects.
You can go ahead with treatment.
Smoking can affect the grafted hair.
Smoking constricts blood vessels and decrease blood supply to hair follicles.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
