I'm 17,i forget a lot and don't concentrate well,my doctor presribed me gincosin,does it have long term side effect?is it totaly safe to use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gincosan is a : combination of Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng.It is metabolized in the liver & can interact with other medications metabolized by the same pathway. It can cause GI upset. A few studies on its use for ADHD-Primarily Inattentive Type did not prove a clear beneficial effect & showed it is less effective than methylphenidate. If stimulant medications are available, they would be preferable.
