Propecia & Saw Palmetto

	Question

Have you heard of any downside or deleterious effect from adding saw palmetto to a long-standing regime of Propecia? Thank you

	Answer

Saw palmetto is not likely to have any side effects. There are some recent scientific studies that show that Saw Palmetto has no effect on the body (good or bad). If you have hair loss, you need to stick with the FDA approved treatments (propecia, minoxidil). Saw Palmetto can't likely hurt you, but it will probably not help. What is your hair loss status? How long have you been on Propecia? Sincerely, Dr. B. Alan J. Bauman MD doctorb@baumanmedical.com www.baumanmedical.com
