Is It Safe To Take Garcinia Cambogia While Being On Lexapro For Depression?
One week ago, I just started taking 10mg of Lexapro for depression. I want to start taking 800mg, twice a day (1600mg total/day) of Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract for a dietary supplement, though. Is it safe to take Garcinia Cambogia with Lexapro? Are there any possible concerns regarding the liver or any other bodily functions?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic forum. I understand your concerns.
Garcinia Cambogia is a herbal product so it doesnt have any serious side effects and it can be taken with most medicatinos including this one that you mention. So it will not affect your liver or other organs just take it in recommended dosages and it will be fine. You need to also be aware that Its efficiency is still not proved but it cant harm you as well.
I hope I have answered your query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
