Weight loss supplements perform quite poorly for weight loss in clinical trials. It is impossible to know whether the Garcinia product you are using is safe without knowledge of the dose, the associated ingredients within the product, or the manufacturing process. Furthermore, there may be interactions with your other pharmaceuticals. It would be ideal to discuss the product with your PCP.
