Adenofrin side effects and contraindications: who should not take it

Absolute contraindications

• Under 18 years of age. The formula is designed for the physiology of adult men.
• Known hypersensitivity to any component: Saw Palmetto, muira puama, maca, cordyceps, echinacea, ginkgo biloba or zinc.
• Women. The product is formulated for men; there is no usage data for women, pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Interactions: when to check with your doctor first

The botanicals in the formula have documented interactions. Kindly consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting if any of these applies to you:

• Anticoagulants and antiplatelets (warfarin, acenocoumarol, apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, aspirin, clopidogrel). Ginkgo biloba can strengthen their effect and raise the risk of bleeding.
• Immunosuppressants. Echinacea stimulates the body's defences and can work against treatments designed to do the opposite (transplant recipients, autoimmune conditions).
• Hormone therapy or anti-androgens, including finasteride and dutasteride. Saw Palmetto acts on androgen metabolism; combine only under medical guidance.
• Scheduled surgery. Stop the intake at least 14 days before any operation because of ginkgo's effect on clotting.
• An active urological diagnosis (diagnosed prostate enlargement, elevated PSA under evaluation, prostatitis under treatment). The supplement does not interfere with diagnosis, but your urologist should know what you take.

Possible side effects

At the correct schedule of 1 capsule a day, tolerance is good. The reported effects are infrequent and mild:

• Digestive discomfort (heaviness, mild nausea) in the first days — it usually settles when the capsule is taken with the main meal.
• Mild headache in people sensitive to ginkgo, normally short-lived.
• Isolated skin reactions in those allergic to any of the botanicals: if itching or rash appears, stop the intake at once.

If you notice any persistent or unusual reaction, stop taking the product and consult a healthcare professional. Adverse events linked to food supplements can be reported to FSSAI at www.fssai.gov.in and to the manufacturer at support@adenofrin.net.

How to reduce risks from day one

1. Respect the schedule: 1 capsule a day for 20 days. Do not double the dose to "make up" for a missed day.
2. Always take the capsule with food and water.
3. Carry your regular medication list to the consultation if you decide to ask your doctor — the review takes two minutes.
4. Buy only the original: lookalike products with a different composition are the main source of unexpected reactions. Verify the channel on the price and where to buy page.

The complete legal warnings for the product, including storage and when to seek urgent medical help, are on the warnings page. For the full composition and schedule, see Adenofrin benefits and how to use it.
