This medication contains Ginkgo Leaf Dry Extract as its main ingredient, and specific precautions must be followed. Firstly, individuals who have had allergies or hypersensitivity to any ingredients in this medication should not take it. Also, there is insufficient research on the safety for children and adolescents, so this medication should not be taken by children or adolescents under 18 years of age. Pregnant women should also avoid this medication, and since it contains lactose, individuals with lactose intolerance or related genetic conditions should refrain from its use. During the use of this medication, it is important not to take it with certain drugs. In particular, taking this medication with anticoagulants or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can potentially enhance its effects, which may pose risks. Additionally, this medication may affect enzymes involved in drug metabolism in the liver, so caution is needed when taken with other medications such as calcium channel blockers or theophylline. Individuals on medications that increase bleeding risk or may enhance bleeding should definitely consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. For breastfeeding women, it is advisable to consult an expert since it is uncertain whether this medication passes into breast milk. Caution is also warranted for patients with epilepsy, as taking this medication may exacerbate seizures. Patients considering surgery should discontinue this medication at least 36 hours prior to the procedure due to the potential for an increased risk of bleeding. Furthermore, if symptoms do not improve after 3 months or worsen, consultation with a doctor is necessary, and if abnormal symptoms such as nausea, headache, insomnia, or skin rash occur, immediate consultation with an expert is advised. This medication is not a treatment for hypertension, so it is not to be used in cases where special treatment is needed for hypertension.
