Hi,
While it is not well documented per se, Garnicia has no known interactions with any known drugs. Be advised, however, that if taken for weight loss, Garnicia has been shown to have no discernable effect in human trials - and so you might be wasting money.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
