ProRx phenol causing bad side affects - be aware
I was on no additive BPI for over a year. No problems. All of my body aches went away. My mild CVI disappeared.
Enter ProRx.. 😩
When my no add BPI ran out I ordered ProRx. Not thinking anything about their preservatives.
The day after my first shot 4 weeks ago I felt my CVI (vein insufficiency) act up. Day 2 was filled with anxiety and then I would get what felt like hot flashes or heat.
I stuck it out for a few weeks and then reached out to the PA supplier. They said there were reports of increased anxiety on ProRx and to lower dose.
I went down to 9mg but something is off for me with this formula.
I compared the ingredients of ProRx to the BPI and its phenol. You would need to google but phenol is a known vascular irritant. Ugh!!!
My first shot was 4 weeks. Now what?!! I can’t take anymore of it. It’s wrecking me!
