Can Gugulipids In Thyroid Helper Reduce The Absorption Of Cardizem CD Causing High BP?
I am taking cardizem CD for hypertension. If I start taking gugulipids which is one of the ingredients in thyroid helper It contain 500 mg of gugulipids in each capsule. Need to take one capsule/day. Can gugulipids in the thyroid helper capsule reduce the absorption of cardizem cd and causing blood pressure to increase?

Yes, guggul does decrease the absorption of cardizem leading to. Increase blood pressure. It is better to avoid it when on cardizem. Lastly guggul is may overwork or underworld thyroid and so it's better to avoid in thyroid disorders too (? Why in thyroid helper). However if you still decide to take it, atleast 2 - 2 hours gap between the two meds to avoid interactions.
