Pharmacist: The FDA doesn't investigate most supplements and most physicians are reluctant to ok them as they are unsure of quality, dosages and efficacy. I suggest asking your pharmacist to review this supplement for you.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

So call your doc: This is the HT public information site.We are thousands of volunteer docs based primarily in the US who answer medical questions.We do not offer treatments. State medical boards require a physician/patient relationship,a retrievable record,recent exam with vital signs for prescribing.Failure to do so can lead to loss or restriction of license. It may seem minor to you but it is not.
