Prescribed Magitrich Capsules For Hairloss. Doesn't It Cause Any Side Effects?

Hi, I recently took a medical consultation for hair loss and was advised to use Magitrich capsules. I believe they contain Saw Palmetto extract but isn t saw palmetto known to cause side effects, of which one being anti-androgenic and estrogenic activity? Is it safe to take the medicine in this case? I am a 23 year old male. Thanks Manish

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi dear,
saw palmeto is totally safe.
Studies have been done on it for more than a year.
There has been no important side effects.
In fact it is a replacement for finestaride, which had side effects like decrease in sexual desire.

Hope I answered your query.

Wishing you good health
Thank you.
