Precautions

This drug contains Ginkgo Biloba Extract as the main ingredient and should not be taken by individuals allergic to certain components. There is insufficient safety research for children and adolescents, so it should not be used by those under 18 years old. Pregnant women should also refrain from taking this medication, which contains lactose; individuals with lactose intolerance or specific genetic metabolic disorders should avoid it. During the use of this drug, it should not be taken with anticoagulants or certain anti-inflammatory drugs, as interactions with other medications may occur, requiring caution. Particularly when used with calcium channel blockers or theophylline, adjustments in dosage may be necessary under a doctor’s guidance as the drug’s effects or concentration may change. Individuals at risk of bleeding or taking medications that may cause bleeding, nursing women, and patients with epilepsy should consult a professional before using this drug. If surgery is forthcoming, to reduce the risk of bleeding, discontinue use at least 36 hours prior, and the duration of use should persist for a minimum of 8 weeks depending on symptoms; if symptoms do not improve after 3 months, consult a physician. Common side effects during use may include nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, and skin rashes; if severe allergic reactions or bleeding symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. This drug is not a treatment for hypertension, so it is advisable not to use it if special treatment is being provided for high blood pressure. Finally, store this medication out of reach of children, in its original container, and avoid transferring it to other containers, as this could degrade the drug’s quality or risk misuse.
