A member asked:
Hello, can someone with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy safely use ginkgo biloba? could it increase the chance of eye bleeds? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding: Supplements like ginkgo biloba are not fully investigated by our FDA, but a warning has been made in some papers about its increasing bleeding properties of aspirin and anticoagulant medications. Your pharmacist may have more information for you about this question.
