Brief Answer: No Good Data, Be careful of Liver Damage Detailed Answer: Hi there. Unfortunately there are no long term studies which demonstrate the SAFETY or the DANGERS of using Garcinia with any of these medications. With these unregulated supplements you are basically taking them at your own risk. But, let me warn you about some of the history behind this supplement. A guy named Dr. Oz promoted it awhile back and it got to be a bit of a craze. But the thing is... every study that has ever been done on it has shown that the overall weight-loss is less than 2 pounds and in 2009 one formulation of Garcinia was taken off the market because it caused Liver damage. So Garcinis is iffy. Lots of people take the supplement with no problems, but all the possible cross reactions have not been Identified or even studied. If you have liver issues I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU NOT TAKE GARCINIA. If you do take it. Keep a diary of how you feel over the first couple of days when you take it and get back to me. We can work through it together. Sound like a plan? I hope this helps! And I hope everything goes safely for you. Feel free to follow-up with me about this or anything else here on HealthCareMagic.Com. Thanks for your question!
