Interaction guide

Ginkgo and anticoagulant context

Ginkgo is often framed as a memory supplement, but anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, surgery plans, seizure history, and other botanicals can change the safety review.

Default spacing rule

If anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, surgery, seizure history, or unexplained bleeding risk are in the picture, do not add or escalate ginkgo without clinician guidance.
