Indications & Uses
Gingo is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Ginkgo biloba stops platelet-activating factor (PAF) from binding to platelets. This inhibits platelet aggregation and increases blood fluidity; it also reduces thrombosis. Improvements have been reported in cognition and working memory. In dementia, they include short-term visual memory, social functioning, concentration, attention and tinnitus. Short-term memory improves in cerebral insufficiency. Activities of daily living (ADL) scores improve in people under 60 years old, and mood and sleep improve in older people.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Tell your doctor before you start Ginkgo Biloba if you are allergic to it, or if you have bleeding problems, seizures, convulsions or epilepsy. Ginkgo Biloba may reduce the ability of the blood to clot, so stop taking it at least 2 weeks before surgery.
Contraindications
Ginkgo Biloba should be used with caution in patients who take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines, such as warfarin, heparin and aspirin. It is also contraindicated in bleeding disorders, because long-term use (6 to 12 months) or use before elective surgery can raise the chance of bleeding. Patients with known risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage should not take it either.

No known restriction has been found so far for using Ginkgo Biloba during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
