Hello,

Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.

Garcinia Cambogia is not US FDA approved for use. As it is a herbal medication we do not have any data on this. But,there are no reported adverse events with it's use, So I think you can use it safely.

There are no reports of high blood pressure with the use of this herb. Any ways, I would recommend that you get you blood pressure checked once a week after starting this medication.

Also, there are no reported side effects or allergic reactions with it's use. I would recommend that you inform your doctor of any untoward reactions if they appear upon consumption of this drug.

Hope this helps.
Do write to me for any follow ups.
Thank you.
