A member asked:

Can i take garcinia cambogia with high blood pressure i take a low dose 5mg of amlodipine once a day ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take it if you like: Garcinia cambogia as long as you take medications for your hypertension ( BP ) , if it is controlled with calcium blocker Norvasc ( amlodipine ) is ok if it is not controlled speak to your doctor to modify medication(s) , this new fashion (g b ) consumed routinely like a vegetable , or curry in east will not help you. Make sure you control yourbp, great medications are available now.
