Can Garcinia Cambogia Be Taken With Epilepsy Medication?
Question: Can you take garcinia cambogia shwith epilepsy medication?
Brief Answer:
you can.. but give some gap between two meds
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
There is no clear evidence or the clinical trials data about any interactions between anti epileptics and garcinia. I do accept that these anti epileptics are having many drug to drug interactions . If I face such a scenario in my clinic , i will ask my patient to keep some gap between anti epileptics and other drugs to prevent drug interaction. So what i suggest you is - have your garcinia also ,but to give some gap atleast 2 hrs before taking it.
If you have any further queries , feel free to contact
