  Yes you can take saw palmetto along with drugs. The reason is that it has been proven that saw palmetto has no effect on prostate size.

  Saw Palmetto berry extract has been shown to support prostate FUNCTION. Some other herbs and nutritional supplements also help prevent BHP turning into cancer, reduce the enlargement a bit & reduce the likelihood of urinary tract infections. Many reputable companies combine these. One of the good formulas is made by NOW Foods and is called Prostate Support. Read about it here:http://www.nowfoods.com/?action=itemdetail&item_id=3128

  Coffee is okay in moderation. It works as a mild diuretic.

  Some herbs and supplements are counter-productive to some prescription medicines. For instance, Alfalfa is a good tonic but counters the effect of blood thinners. Ask your doctor and your pharmacist. Best results come when you do your own research and/or consult an alternative medicine practitioner.

  saw palmetto is great
  you can also take green tea (the tea or the pills)
  eating lots of tomatoes
  you can also take
  pumpkin seed oil
  soybean oil
  rosemary extract
  eating more veggies and less red meats
  less butter and dairy
  olive oil it good
  and fresh herbs.

  and yes he does take these with his prescription med’s
  and yes he has coffee
  it does not bother him
  take care
