Precautions

This medication is made from components extracted from ginkgo leaves and should not be taken by individuals with specific allergies. Safety for children and adolescents has not been sufficiently established, so it is advisable not to use it for those under 18 years of age. Pregnant women should not take this medication, nor should individuals with genetic issues such as lactose intolerance. Care should be taken if this medication is taken alongside blood coagulation-controlling drugs as it can enhance the effects. Additionally, this medication may affect the metabolism of other drugs in the liver, which can alter the effects of certain cardiovascular drugs or asthma treatments when taken together. Patients with tendencies to bleed or those on medications with high risks of bleeding should consult their physician, and lactating women should also consult an expert before taking this medication. This drug may potentially exacerbate seizures in patients with epilepsy, so caution is necessary. If surgery is planned, it should be discontinued at least 36 hours prior to reduce bleeding risks, and medical advice should be sought if symptoms do not improve or worsen. During use, adverse reactions such as nausea, headache, insomnia, and skin rashes may occur, and if these symptoms appear, immediate consultation with a professional is recommended. Prolonged usage may increase the risk of bleeding, requiring careful monitoring. This medication is not an antihypertensive agent, so patients with hypertension should receive separate treatment.
