Ginko biloba

[137Alice]

Hi, folks, thanks to u all and one more question. Does anyone have any info on ginko and epi? I found very little and my doc says that i can try it. He gave me a small lecture on herbal meds the conclusion being that perhaps there is no harm in it, though he doesn`t know of any conclusive clinical researches. I really would like to hear from people who are more in my shoes than my doc as much as i like him. In Europe the med is called Tebonin.

Gingko biloba is considered a no-no for people with epilepsy because it can increase the risk of seizures. See https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/...ay-increase-seizures-in-people-with-epiy.html

In addition, over-the-counter herbal supplements aren't regulated, so you don't even know if you're getting what's listed on the label.
