How to take it

How to take Prostacor

The label gives one sentence of directions and a paragraph of caution. Both are short enough to read in full.

Directions

Three points from the side of the bottle

  1. 1 One capsule at a time

    The serving on the panel is 1 vegetable capsule. The label gives no larger single dose.

  2. 2 Once or twice a day

    "Take one (1) capsule once or twice daily or as directed by a physician." That is 1 or 2 capsules in a day.

  3. 3 Doctor first, if the caution applies

    The caution covers 2 groups: anyone with a medical condition and anyone on prescription medication. Both are told to ask a doctor first.

"Take one (1) capsule once or twice daily or as directed by a physician. Read warnings and use only as directed."
Directions, side of the bottle

Consult a doctor or health care professional prior to consumption if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking any prescription medication. Improper use of this product will not improve results and is potentially hazardous to a person's health. Use only as directed."

What federal health pages advise about any supplement

Prostacor's caution sends two groups to a doctor first: people with a medical condition and people on prescription medication. Federal health pages give the same advice in broader terms.

See a doctor

When capsules are the wrong first step

A supplement label cannot examine you. Trouble starting, a weak stream, pain or blood in the urine all have several possible causes, and sorting them out takes a doctor.

If you can't urinate at all, you should get medical help right away.

Can you take Prostacor with prescription medication?

Ask your doctor first. The caution on the label puts it in 1 sentence, and the NIH supplements office tells readers to get approval before combining supplements with prescribed medicines.
