Precautions

This medication contains gingko leaf dry extract, and those allergic to specific ingredients should not take it. There is insufficient safety research for children and adolescents, so it is advisable not to use it for those under 18 years of age. Pregnant women should not take this medication, nor should those with genetic disorders related to lactose. Caution should be taken to avoid using this medication with drugs that affect blood clotting. Additionally, this medication can affect the metabolism of various other drugs, so caution is needed when taken together with certain calcium channel blockers or theophylline. Patients with a tendency to bleed or on medications that increase bleeding risk should consult a physician, and nursing mothers should consult a specialist before use. This medication may also exacerbate seizures in patients with epilepsy, so consultation with a specialist is necessary for related patients. If surgery is planned, the medication should be discontinued at least 36 hours prior to reduce bleeding risk. The duration of use varies based on symptoms; if there is no improvement after 8 weeks of use, consult a physician. If unusual reactions such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, or skin rash occur during use, inform a specialist immediately. Long-term use may increase the risk of bleeding, so caution is necessary. This medication is not a treatment for high blood pressure and should not be used in patients with hypertension.
