I don't know much about Gymnema sylvestre but it is in a supplement I am taking with 25mg worth. I'm also on glucophage 1500mg a day. Ive heard that they interact with each other and shouldn't be taken together. Can anyone confirm this with some info about this interaction if there is one.



Many thanks

I found the following on their website:



Gymnema Cautions



Extremely high doses may have the potential to induce hypoglycemia (abnormally low blood sugar) in individuals who are prone to hypoglycemic episodes. In those individuals with active diabetes, it is recommended to consult your personal physician before and during use of gymnema, as alterations to your dosage of insulin or other anti-diabetic medications may be warranted



I would consult my physician before mixing these two drugs.
