Precautions

This medication contains Ginkgo leaf extract, and individuals with certain allergic reactions should not take it. Safety has not been fully established for children and adolescents, so it should not be taken by those under 18 years of age. Pregnant women are also advised against taking this medication. Additionally, since it contains lactose, individuals with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders should avoid using it. While taking this medication, it should not be combined with drugs that may affect blood coagulation, such as anticoagulants like warfarin or aspirin. Furthermore, this medication can affect enzymes that regulate the metabolism of various drugs in the liver, potentially altering the effects of other medications. Particular caution is required when taken with calcium channel blockers or theophylline, and dosage adjustments may be necessary under a doctor's guidance. Individuals at risk of bleeding or taking medications that may cause bleeding should consult a physician. Women who are breastfeeding should consult professionals as it is uncertain whether this medication passes into breast milk. Additionally, caution is needed in patients with epilepsy as there may be an increased risk of seizures. During treatment, the risk of bleeding may increase, so if surgery is planned, it should be discontinued at least 36 hours in advance. The minimum duration of treatment should be maintained for 8 weeks, but if symptoms do not improve or worsen after 3 months, a physician should be consulted. If any allergic reactions such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, skin rash, or itching occur during treatment, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and a professional should be consulted. This medication is not used as a treatment for hypertension, so patients with high blood pressure require separate treatment. Store in a place out of the reach of children, and keep it in the original container tightly closed. Transferring it to another container may cause misuse or degradation of quality.
