A member asked:

Can i take pure garcinia cambogia with concerta (adhd med) ?

Dr. Oscar Novick answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Garcinia: There does not seem to be an interaction between garcinia and concerta. However, you take garcinia at your own rise because there are many impure preparations on the market. Hence, we don't know what its long term effects are on the body and especially in combination with another drug.
