How do I know if a ginkgo adverse reaction is caused by ginkgo or by a developing disease?

0

Although ginkgo has an excellent safety profile, adverse reactions sometimes occur. However, be cautious to draw the blame on ginkgo. In studies, it has been found that people taking ginkgo or placebo may develop the same adverse reactions, which means the symptoms might be attributed to other causes like something in your body. If the adverse reaction is due to ginkgo, it should go away after stopping the ginkgo use. Otherwise, it may relate to something else and you may need to see a doctor. • Q: I have glaucoma. My eye doctor says that research seems to suggest a positive effect of ginkgo on the optic nerve. I am also taking paxil. Is it alright to take Ginkgo at the same time? A: There are indeed new clinical studies that support a positive role of ginkgo on glaucoma. In the trials, it was observed that ginkgo increases ocular blood flow and improves visual field damage in some glaucoma patients. As to whether paxil can be taken together with ginkgo, no study data was available. Ho
