Mangosteen and 9 different medications

Q: Hello, I am interested in your mangosteen drink. I am a severely depressed person, with heart disease/high blood pressure and am also very overweight. I also suffered a stroke in 2003. My question- can I take this with my medications? (I currently take 9 different prescription pills a day for the above medical conditions. I have been warned not to mix them with any herbal remedies. I saw a list of the juices and i am not allergic to them. Does this really contain only natural juices?
Thank you,
Gail D.

A: Dear Gail, Based on what you are telling me I can’t make a recommendation. The liability on my end is too great. I would show the ingredients to your doctor and see what he/she says.

I don’t know the meds your on or your history. Your MD will be the best choice.

Sincerely,
