Can I Take Garcinia Cambogia While On Tamoxifen?
Question: Can I take garcinia cambogia while on tamoxifen?
Brief Answer:
side effect profile not known, seems safe
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Garcinia is gaining a lot of popularity these days because of its role in weight loss.
But there are minimal studies related to the side effect profile of this drug.
Tamoxifen is also a bland drug so probably won't have any drug interactions with garcinia but still I would suggest you to visit your doctor in case you get any different feeling after starting the drug e.g. nausea, indigestion or loose stools
Take care. In case you have other questions you can contact me on health care magic.
