High-risk intervention — consult a physician before acting.Drug-drug interactions, dose-dependence, and screening contraindications apply.
“The only relative contraindication that I tell people and a lot of people say, oh, there's no side effects that I know of. But if you have a family history of melanoma or potentially have a melanoma and don't know about it, that's why I'm a big advocate of dermoscopy as well on regular skin checks, then theoretically it's going to increase that alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, and it can grow that. So that's definitely not a good a thing. So be very careful about longterm administration of it.”
