These symptoms can arise from impaired blood flow to the brain due to vascular issues such as arteriosclerosis. Therefore, this medication is used to improve cerebral blood flow, enhance memory and concentration, and alleviate dizziness symptoms.

Precautions

This medication is made from a component extracted from Ginkgo leaf, and should not be taken by individuals allergic to specific components. Furthermore, safety in children and adolescents has not been conclusively established, so it is advisable not to use this medication in individuals under 18 years of age. Pregnant women should also refrain from taking this medication, and those with genetically related lactose sensitivity should avoid it. It is important not to take this medication alongside blood-thinning medications, as the effects may be excessively potent when used together. Additionally, this medication can affect the breakdown of other medicines in the liver, so caution is necessary when taken with certain blood pressure medications or asthma treatments. Those taking medications that increase the risk of bleeding should consult a healthcare professional. Breastfeeding women should discuss with an expert as it is uncertain whether this medication passes into breast milk. Patients with epilepsy may experience more frequent seizures after taking this medication, so caution is needed. Patients approaching surgery should discontinue this medication at least 36 hours prior to reduce the risk of bleeding. This medication should be taken for a minimum of 8 weeks, and if symptoms do not improve or worsen after 3 months, consultation with a physician is necessary. If symptoms such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, or skin rash occur during treatment, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is advised. Dizziness or itching has been reported, so attention should be paid to these symptoms. Severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, can occur rarely, and immediate emergency treatment is required if sudden difficulty breathing or swelling occurs. This medication is not an antihypertensive, so patients with high blood pressure should seek separate treatment. Lastly, this medication should be kept out of the reach of children and stored in its original packaging to maintain product quality.
