I tried looking this up and couldn't find a definate answer. I would really like to know if I should stop taking saw palmetto. I am on dianne-35 and started SP a week ago. Now my period has come early, two days before taking the seven day break. I noticed the cramps five days ago. This sucks cause I was supposed to skip the seven day break and take the dianne everyday as long as there is no bleeding. Now I do not know what to do. Stop taking the saw palmetto? Do not skip the seven day break and let my period continue? Arrgh!
drugdigest site does give good information.
sawpalmetto.dongquai,evening primrose oil shud not be taken together but i have noticed many cysters here taking most or all of them.
vitex is contraindicated with bcps....and vitex shud not be taken with saw palmeto (drugdigest)....bcos both have an effect on hormones..so teh same cud stand true for saw palmetto and bcps.
siancat why do u take saw palmetto and diane35......do u have hair loss...and taking them has it helped?

han19 thankyou very much for the info. I started taking the saw palmetto for hairloss and in hopes that it would help with hair loss and hirsutism. From the two weeks I've been using SP, I actually did notice a small improvement in the hairloss. There is some new growth of hair at the templess. While fine, they are the same dark colour as the rest of my hair. The rest of my hair still thinning out though. I think I will discontinue the SP until I finish my last two packs of dianne-35. The improvement I noticed with the saw palmetto has made me optimistic. I also stopped taking metformin two weeks ago and started taking a bunch of vitamin and mineral supplements so I wonder if the met did play some part in the rapid hairloss.
Saw Palmetto and BCP?
