Wouldn't bother: I doubt you'll find convincing evidence that this supplement effects meaningful weight loss above and beyond proper diet and exercise. Wouldn't take the chance.

Question 2

can i use garcinia cambogia if i use thyroid and cholesterol medicine?

Accepted Answer

Safe, may not help: Garcinia Camboigia is generally safe &amp; should be OK with those meds ,but many research studies show it has little if any benefit- see http://authoritynutrition.com/garcinia-cambogia-extract/ 
&amp; the link there for a"proven way to lose weight."
There is no substitute for changing your diet to lose weight, though this supplement is more likely to be helpful than Garcinia: http://tinyurl.com/q46f4l5

Not really because: Alternative medications have no safety profile and are not rigorously tested for safety by any agency. It has nothing to do with your blood pressure meds.

Try cutting your food portions in half and see how that goes for a month. I'm sure you'll see results
