Precautions

This medication is made from a component extracted from ginkgo leaves, and should not be taken by individuals with specific allergic reactions. Children, adolescents, and pregnant women should avoid using this medication as safety has not been established for them. Additionally, patients with genetic lactose-related disorders should avoid this medication due to the presence of lactose. It is important not to take this medication with blood thinners or certain anticoagulants during treatment. Care should be taken as interactions with other medications may strengthen or alter the effects. In particular, taking it with calcium channel blockers or theophylline may change the drug concentration, requiring dosage adjustments. Individuals at risk of bleeding or taking medications that may induce bleeding should consult their doctor, and nursing mothers should also discuss with a healthcare professional before taking this medication. Moreover, caution is necessary as this medication may worsen seizures in patients with epilepsy. Since the risk of bleeding may increase during treatment, if surgery is planned, it is advisable to stop taking the medication at least 36 hours prior. The duration of use should last a minimum of 8 weeks based on symptoms, and if no improvement is observed after 3 months, a doctor should be consulted. While taking this medication, allergic reactions such as nausea, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, skin rashes, or itching may occur, and in rare cases, severe allergic reactions may also arise. Long-term use has been reported with cases of bleeding, so caution is necessary. This medication is not a treatment for high blood pressure, thus hypertensive patients should not use it for special therapeutic purposes. Store it in a sealed container, away from children's reach, and keep it in its original container. Transferring to another container may reduce the quality of the medication or lead to misuse.
