Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Garcinia Cambogia: It is probably safe to take the recommended amounts of Garcinia while taking synthroid (thyroxine). However, at your age for you to take Synthroid (thyroxine) tells me that you will need further work up for Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Please have this tested.
