Question: I had a heart attack in Feb. I'm taking atorvastatin calcium 40mg, Lisinopril 2.5mg, Clopidogrel 75mg, Metoprpl Tar 25mg. I was wondering if I can take Press Forskolin for weight loss
Brief Answer:
may cause problems
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
let me start with this. Do not expect documented answers on this subject as forskolin has not been studied extensively.
Forskolin may decrease the blood pressure. Therefore using it with other antihypertensives may increase the risk for hypotension. Individuals with coronary heart disease in particular may be at higher risk since their heart arteries are usually less capable of providing adequate amounts of oxygen to the heart.
So in conclusion, I can neither recommend forskolin nor disapprove it. There are some risks though so you'd try a safer alternative like diet and exercise.
I hope it helps! Let me know if you need any clarification or more information.
Kind Regards!
