A member asked:
Does hydroxycut have any effect on prolactin and other hormone levels? sister takes them and has elevated levels. just started pills and is a virgin.

No.: Here prolactin elevation is not related. While i really suggest stopping the hydroxycut, it actually might lower prolactin, since Ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) as a noradrenergic stimulator with dopaminergic cross over. The cause should be evaluated by the doctor who found the prolactin elevation, and if unsure, sghould refer her to a hormone specialist! bcps would not increase prolactin.

Who knows: Since nobody knows what's in the otc products. Besides, they don't help any medical problem and may be toxic. She shouldn't get her medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
