Ginkgo and birth control?


would taking ginkgo biloba weaken the value
of birth control?

Answer:
Should be fine to take together but I would avoid taking them at duplicate time period.

As far as I am aware, the individual thing you hold to be careful next to as far as Gingko goes is DO NOT ever pilfer it with any blood thinning medication such as aspirin or spontaneous bleeding could occur.

It is St Johns Wort that you own to avoid whilst on birth control. This herb increases the enzyme in the liver that breaks down hormone thous reducing the concentration of hormone within the blood.

As answered by a Herbalist with a PhD, so presumably most learned in this nouns:

(Scroll down the page until you find the highlighted words birth control)

Plus it is not listed contained by this herb-drug (birth control) interactions table from the American Botanical Council's Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program:

(scroll down to table)

If in doubt ever over a herb affecting a drug you might steal, I recommend asking a Pharmacist - they are usually quite knowlegeable on herb-drug interactions.
