Hi, is it safe to use herbal supplements without earlier consultation with doctor? Should I take Ginkgo on my own?

Hi, generally if you are not taking other anticoagulants like Aspirin 100, it is safe to use Ginkgo. but, if you are taking any of these, there is a bit increased risk of bleeding. If your nose bleeds easily or you have ulcers, you may be contraindicated for Ginkgo. Generally, there are not enough scientific researches done on herbal supplements, so we don’t really know enough about them. In time, as they are used more and more, we will learn how they interact with each other and other drugs, what are side effects and contraindications.
