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

ChrisHl75Aug 5, 2018
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?
