Can a male take viagra, nutrafol, catalase and multivitamin supplement after CoolSculpting and avoid PAH?

Question

I am a 44 year old male who had coolsculpting done las week in the belly area. I was not aware of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia until after the treatment and now I don't know what to do and not do in order to avoid this disorder. I was on a lot of hair supplements and vitamins regime (multivitamins, nutrafol, catalase) as well as taking viagra. Could I keep taking my hair supplements, viagra and carry on the normal sex life I was having?

Yes, you can continue taking your supplements/vitamins. Medications have no influence on Coolsculpting or PAH. Best, Dr. Emer

I am not aware of any specific activities, medications, or supplements that would influence whether someone develops PAH after CoolSculpting.  PAH is fairly unusual due to CoolSculpting and I do not believe the Viagra or the supplements you are taking would need to be stopped after your procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. I have not heard of any of these medications causing a patient to have PAH. If you are concerned I would recommend following up with your certified Coolsculpting provider. Best of luck!
