ginkgo biloba and caffeine interaction??

Hello pharmicists,

I want to know whether there can be an interaction between Ginkgo biloba and Nescafe coffee (caffeinated). So the question is can ginkgo biloba and caffeine cause anything dangerous or toxic in the body. i do not take any other drugs. please email me soon.

No pharmacists on this site, just people.  As far as I know, there's no adverse reaction, but try the old Google to see if there's more.  The main contraindication with gingko is blood thinners.

Hi,

    I am a physician and have researched drug-herb interactions in med school.  Ginkgo and caffeine can mutually enhance the other's effects, so you would want to be cautious in the case of hypertension.

Warmly,
