Does Garcinia Cambogia Extract Prescribed For Supporting Apetite Control Increase Blood Pressure?

Hello I am taking Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide 20mg/12.5mg for high blood pressure. I am starting a weight loss program and it was recommended that I try Garcinia Cambogia Extract to help support my appetite control. My question is will this increase my blood pressure?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

There is no evidence as of date that this extract can cause an increase in blood pressure. I do not also think this would happen. I will suggest you inform your doctor about this and get his input. After starting the drug, monitor your blood pressure closely and should there be great variations, then get re-evaluated for investigations into possible causes.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications should need be. Thanks for using our services. We very much appreciate that.
