Brief Answer:
Garcinia cambogia interferes with action of medicines for diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am,
Good evening
Thanks for your reply.
According the some scientific study done, Garcinia cambogia may interfere with the action of the medicines prescribed for diabetes.
However, there is no documented interaction between Garcinia combogia and Levothyroxine.
According to FDA in 2009, some people developed liver problems after taking Garcinia cambogia to lose weight, hence its safety is not being tested on large multicentric clinical trials.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards.
