Will Taking Garcinia Cambogia Have Any Effect On Valproate?

Hi, I am on a rather high dosage of Valproate (Epilim) for epilepsy, and I am considering purchasing Garcinia Cambogia in assisting with weight loss (I am not FAT, but have had a rather annoying tummy that I cannot seem to shake for years). I exercise regularly (walking, running at least 3 times a week). Will Garcinia Cambogia have any effect on the valproate?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Of course you can try the drugs for weight loss, but besides you also should try aggressively by other means.
First of all minimize the sleeping hours. don't sleep in the afternoon.
Try to practice yoga mostly related to trimming of the tummy.
Minimize the intake of calories.and fats. cut short the oil consumption.
Take more of green leafy vegetables,pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
