A member asked:
I have taken 2x80mg saw palmetto softgel capsules they feel like they went down the wrong way is it possible they could go into lungs or be a problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You would not be breathing now if they went into your lungs. by the way, saw palmetto is usually for older guys trying to control BPH- why are you taking them?
