Brief Answer:
Both are blood thinners and should not be used together

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

I have gone through the query and understand your concerns.

Both Gingko Biloba and Plavix 75 are blood thinners. When taken together, they can cause side effects of excessive bleeding.

Thus, it is not a good idea to take them together. If these were not both prescribed by your doctor, then you should never take them. Taking medications without prescription is very dangerous.

I hope I have answered your query. Please post a follow up if you have more questions.
