Saw palmetto is herbal product for treatment of benign
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Its mechanism of action in relieving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia has not been validated scientifically. It has been used in some parts of the world for this purpose. You can buy it online in Amazon or Snapdeal if you are not getting it from local medical stores in Chandigarh. Its extract is available in India. Some of the brand’s names are tablet CUTIMIN FORTE, capsule PROSTONIL and PROSTYNAL capsule.
Saw palmetto is well tolerated with no serious side effects reported. Gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea can occur.
Why do you want to take saw palmetto??
Finax 1 mg daily is used for hair loss. For BPH, Finax 5 mg is used daily.
Finax contains
finasteride. Finasteride causes
sexual dysfunction such as decreased libido,
erectile dysfunction, reduced volume of ejaculate,
gynaecomastia,
testicular pain,
depression, orgasm disorders
Finasteride causes sexual dysfunction when used orally in high dose. This side effect is seen in early stage of treatment and usually resolves with progress of time even if you continue taking it. Side effects are not permanent.
If you would have written the indication of use, I would have suggested more. Anyway, you can write on this portal later.
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
