  • Managing cognitive decline and memory problems in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
  • Reducing anxiety and improving mood.
  • Treating peripheral vascular disease, where blood flow to the limbs is reduced.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Headache, dizziness, gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, diarrhea, or upset stomach), and allergic skin reactions.
• Serious Side Effects: In rare cases, ginkgo biloba can cause bleeding problems, especially in individuals who take blood-thinning medications such as warfarin or aspirin.
• Other Effects: May cause restlessness or sleep disturbances in some people. Long-term use of high doses can increase the risk of serious bleeding disorders.

Precautions:

• Bleeding Risk: Ginkgo biloba can increase the risk of bleeding, so it should be used with caution in individuals taking anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), or those with bleeding disorders. Discontinuing ginkgo before surgery is often recommended due to this bleeding risk.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Ginkgo biloba should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. It may also have effects on uterine blood flow.
• Seizures: Ginkgo biloba has been associated with seizures in rare cases, particularly with high doses or in individuals who have a history of seizures or epilepsy.
• Blood Pressure: Ginkgo biloba may have a mild effect on blood pressure, either lowering it or increasing it. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly if using ginkgo, especially for those with hypertension or hypotension.
• Drug Interactions: Ginkgo may interact with a variety of drugs, including antidepressants, blood thinners, and anti-seizure medications. It’s important to talk to a healthcare provider before starting ginkgo biloba, especially if other medications are being taken.
