This medication contains ingredients extracted from Ginkgo biloba, so those with allergic reactions should not take it. Safety has not been sufficiently confirmed for children and adolescents, so it is advisable not to take this medication for those under 18 years of age. Pregnant women should not use this medication considering its effects on the fetus. Additionally, since it contains lactose, those with lactose intolerance or specific genetic metabolic disorders should avoid it. It is important not to take this medication concurrently with drugs that affect blood coagulation. In particular, using it with anticoagulants or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may increase the risk of bleeding. Moreover, this medication may affect the metabolism of other drugs in the liver, so caution is needed when used with drugs such as calcium channel blockers or theophylline. Those on medications that may cause bleeding or pose a bleeding risk should consult a physician or pharmacist. Breastfeeding women should consult a specialist as it is uncertain whether this drug passes into breast milk. There is a possibility of worsening seizures in patients with epilepsy when taking this medication, so caution is advised. Before surgery, this medication should be discontinued at least 36 hours prior to reduce the risk of bleeding. The duration of use varies based on symptoms, but it should be continued for at least 8 weeks, and if symptoms do not improve after 3 months or worsen, it is important to consult a physician. This medication may rarely cause allergic reactions such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, skin rashes, swelling, itching, and dizziness, and in severe cases, anaphylactic shock may occur. Caution is required as bleeding may occur with prolonged use. This medication is not a treatment for hypertension, so patients with high blood pressure should not take it. When stored, it should be kept out of reach of children and sealed in its original container.
