Hi Doc. A good friend of mine is thinking about using Procerin as a way to regain his hair. He is 22 years old and drinks alot of alcohol. He also takes medication (Adderall) and occasionally does ecstasy (MDMA). I was wondering if there are any interactions with his medication or any of the things he does. He is mostly healthy, since he lifts weights and does a lot of cardio, and overall pretty healthy. Thanks.

What is his problem? He uses a product that has questionable value (Procerin) and adds more things to his regimen (including illicit drugs?!)… and he lifts weights to stay “mostly healthy”? I am not sure what you want from me. I can not endorse Procerin or Ecstasy as a way to stay healthy with a full head of hair. I’ve written about Adderall and hair loss before.

Procerin’s “active” ingredient is saw palmetto, and I’ve yet to see any clinical studies that prove to me that it does anything to treat hair loss.
