A member asked:
I just started taking 1 ginkgo biloba pill for 3 days but also been taking 2-3 ibuprofen a day should i be worried about brain bleeding?

Why the gingko??: Yes, one of the adverse effects is poor clotting, and the two together would likely affect coagulation to a minor extent. But who convinced you to waste your money on gingko, which has been extensively studied, and has no value in treating any medical conditions? Furthermore, consumers union surveyed 10 bottles labeled for gingko, and most had zero herb contents.
