Can I take Garcinia Cambogia with Tamoxifen?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I’ve put in quite a bit of weight since going through the menopause and have tried to loose weight with not much success. I’ve heard that Garcinia Cambogia tablets might help but not sure if I can take them with tamoxifen.

    I am so sorry you're going through this!  However, your question should be put to your oncologist not this forum.  We can offer comfort and practical assistance not medical advice! xx.

    Annie,

    When I checked on Medscape, it showed no interactions between Garcinia and Tamoxifin. My own advice is that you should check with your oncologist and primary physician before starting the Garcinia. They should be aware of all medications you are taking.

    Best of luck!
