hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM
High prolactin might be implicated for hair loss but other causes has to be ruled out. Regarding protein drink I don't think it is going to have any harmful affect so long your kidney function is normal and you are taking the quantity of protein that is required as per your body weight and activity level.
Hope this helped. Do let us know.
