A member asked:
I'm on 10mg lexapro (escitalopram) and taking garcinia cambogia. am i putting myself in danger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
WebMD says..: that garcinia cambogia contains HCA which can cause liver problems, especially at quantities that most diet pills pack in. It can also potentially interfere with medications like statins, asthma and allergy, iron, and most notably psychotropic medicines including the SSRIs, which is what lexapro (escitalopram) is. I would have extreme caution taking garcinia with lexapro (escitalopram).
