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,
DrM
