HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DELETE by DELETE
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product has 2 active ingredients: white kidney bean extract and garcinia cambogia extract. White kidney bean extract is used in weight-loss supplements for its theoretical effect on carbohydrate absorption.
Garcinia cambogia extract contains hydroxycitric acid, the compound believed to support weight management. The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients — hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide — which are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence supporting garcinia for weight loss and related metabolic conditions is not established in the data we hold. Garcinia carries ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for athletic performance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and high cholesterol.
We have no effectiveness data on file for white kidney bean extract. If you're considering this product for any of those purposes, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the evidence supports its use for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Garcinia is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but you should know the full picture. The most common side effects are diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, and nausea.
Rare but serious side effects have been reported, including liver injury and liver failure — which is why caution is warranted, especially if you have liver disease or take other medications that stress the liver. Very rarely, garcinia has been linked to mania (particularly in people with bipolar disorder), pancreatitis, and one case of severe heart inflammation.
Do not use this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data to know either way, and the safety profile advises against it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check your medications with your pharmacist if you take serotonergic drugs (antidepressants, certain pain relievers), blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, or any drug that can stress the liver. We have no interaction data for white kidney bean extract, but garcinia carries documented moderate-risk interactions with all four of these medication types.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is marketed for weight management, but evidence for it is insufficient. More importantly, if you take any blood thinners, antidepressants, diabetes medications, or drugs that affect the liver, you'll need to check with your pharmacist first.
The rare but serious risks of liver injury and serotonin syndrome mean this isn't a product to start without professional input.

Garcinia Cambognia - Several studies have suggested that HCA may plan an important role in the regulation of fat accumulation, and may suppress appetite.
White kidney bean extract - Has been shown to inhibit digestive enzyme amylase, which is required to metabolize starchy carbohydrates. Research suggests that white kidney bean extract, when taken before meals, may produce decreases in body weight and fat mass while maintaining lean body mass.

DELETE by DELETE Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
This product contains garcinia cambogia extract, which has documented interactions with multiple medication types.
The most serious concern is with serotonergic drugs (antidepressants, certain pain relievers, migraine medications) — combining garcinia with these carries a moderate risk of serotonin syndrome, a condition marked by agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, and high blood pressure. One patient taking escitalopram developed serotonin syndrome after adding garcinia extract.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Garcinia also carries moderate interaction risks with blood thinners and antiplatelet medications (like warfarin or aspirin), which could increase bleeding risk, and with diabetes medications, which could lower your blood sugar too much. Additionally, there's a moderate concern with drugs that can stress the liver, since garcinia itself has been linked to rare cases of liver injury.
We were unable to check white kidney bean extract — we hold no interaction data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 687 individual medications.

For each ingredient in DELETE with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Garcinia cambogia extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the main active ingredient in garcinia, might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
HCA inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro. The inhibitory effect seems to be greater in platelets extracted from diabetic subjects than non-diabetic subjects.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the main active ingredient in garcinia, might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
HCA reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels in animal models, theoretically by delaying glucose absorption. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage.
There have been reports of acute hepatitis with elevated liver enzymes associated with garcinia, when taken alone or in combination with other ingredients. Case reports collected from the Drug Induced Liver Injury Network suggest this risk may be greater in people who carry the HLA B*35:01 allele.
Serotonergic Drugs
Theoretically, combining garcinia with other serotonergic drugs might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects, including serotonin syndrome.
In one report, a patient experienced serotonin syndrome after taking garcinia extract (60% hydroxycitric acid) 1000 mg daily in combination with escitalopram 20 mg, which had been taken for a year. The patient was switched to sertraline 50 mg daily and again experienced serotonin syndrome.
