A member asked:

Does ginkgo biloba supplements or toxin affect the effectiveness of my birth control pill ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Am confused as to why you would take Ginkgo, which has been studied and appears to have NO benefits whatsoever. Also, most bottles labeled as having Ginkgo either have none or very little. Don't waste your money and don't worry about your BCP efficacy.
