Hello,
It is not proper to take such an Ayurvedic preparation while you are on allopathic medications for your high blood pressure and water retention.Moreover such type of interactions of these medicines have not been studied and so it is better to avoid.
Another important point is that you must adopt dietary control and do regular exercises to reduce your weight instead of resorting to such type of weight loss medicines since their track record is dubious.
You can even consult a dietician to achieve your goal of weight loss.
Thanks
