Precautions

This medication contains Ginkgo Leaf Extract and should not be taken by certain individuals. Firstly, individuals who are allergic to Ginkgo Leaf Extract or other ingredients in this medication should not take it. Secondly, this medication has not been sufficiently studied for safety in children and adolescents, so it should not be used by those under 18 years old. Thirdly, it is safer for pregnant women to avoid this medication. Fourthly, this medication contains lactose, so individuals with genetic disorders that prevent lactose digestion should avoid it. While taking this medication, it is crucial not to use it with certain drugs. For example, taking it with blood-thinning medications may enhance their effects, increasing the risk of bleeding. Additionally, this medication can affect enzymes involved in drug metabolism in the liver, potentially altering the effects or duration of other medications. Caution is necessary when taken with calcium channel blockers or theophylline, and dosage adjustment may be required under a doctor's direction. Consulting with a doctor or pharmacist before use may also be necessary. Individuals at risk of bleeding or currently taking medications that increase bleeding, nursing mothers, and epilepsy patients should consult with a professional. Because this medication may increase the risk of bleeding, it should be stopped at least 36 hours before scheduled surgery. The duration of use varies with symptoms but should be at least 8 weeks; if symptoms do not improve after 3 months or worsen, consult a doctor. If during use, unusual reactions such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, confusion, skin rash, or itching occur, consult a professional immediately. Cases of bleeding have been reported during long-term use, so caution is needed. Symptoms like dizziness or itching may occur, so be careful. Serious allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis have been reported rarely, so report any unusual symptoms to healthcare professionals immediately. This medication is not for treating high blood pressure, so individuals with hypertension should consult a doctor before taking it. Finally, this medication should be stored out of reach of children and kept tightly closed in its original container to maintain its quality.
