> "Adverse effects of saw palmetto are rare and usually mild. In all randomized clinical trials in the above-mentioned meta-analysis, withdrawal rates (a rough indicator of patient acceptance) were 9.1% for saw palmetto, 11.2% for finasteride, and 7.0% for placebo.

Thanks for the info, but could you please explain a little about withdrawal rates? Is it the percentage of people who stopped taking something because of adverse reactions so that the lower withdrawal rate indicates that something is better tolerated?

Thanks again,
Annie
