Description
Francisco Rivas García and co-authors warn that weight-loss supplements can clash with prescription drugs, in a 2024 review. The head byline lists four names while the catalog lists five. Supplements are taken for months at a time, so overlap with daily medicines is nearly guaranteed.
Five popular ingredients get the spotlight: green tea extract, Garcinia cambogia, chitosan, quercetin, and resveratrol. Each can raise or blunt the action of common drugs, from blood thinners and antidepressants to cancer agents. Some pairs risk bleeding or treatment failure. These interactions are seldom disclosed on labels. The authors wrote the survey for clinicians, who need to ask about supplements directly. Patient safety, they argue, depends on spotting the mix early.
