✅ What Is Permixon?
Permixon® is a medically standardized lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens fruit (saw palmetto) at 160 mg per capsule, approved in several countries to relieve moderate urinary symptoms caused by **benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)** . It offers a phytotherapeutic alternative to prescription treatments.

💡 How It Works
The extract works through multiple pathways :
Inhibits 5α‑reductase, reducing DHT formation
Limits inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes)
Slows prostate cell proliferation to relieve urinary tract obstruction

Urinary frequency, urgency
Weak or interrupted stream
Nocturia (nighttime urination)
Incomplete bladder voiding

⚠️ Safety, Side Effects & Precautions
Common side-effects: headache, abdominal discomfort, nausea, mild rash, or gynecomastia (reversible)
Take with food to reduce nausea risk
Not for use in women or children
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to hormonal effects
May reduce PSA levels, affecting prostate screening accuracy
Use caution in patients taking anticoagulants or NSAIDs due to potential increased bleeding risk

⏳ Onset of Effects & Patient Feedback
Clinical benefits may take several weeks to months to emerge; BPH symptom improvement often requires consistent use for 3–6 months
A 2023 Cochrane review concluded saw palmetto extract “provides little to no benefit” for BPH symptoms, though earlier meta-analyses (including Permixon) report modest symptom relief over placebo
User Experiences:
Some Reddit users describe no noticeable improvements, viewing Permixon more as a supplement than a potent medication
Others report relief from urinary symptoms when combined with tamsulosin or other therapies, though results varied and required long-term use
