default
Posted on Fri, 20 May 2016
Question: Hi,

I have leg aches and tinnitus for a few years. My Doctor is sending me at last the circulation test. The store customer service at the store suggested me to use Ginkgo Bilbao for my tinnitus problem. Around 2 a.m., I had a bad aches around the chest. I was looking for something to ease the pain, but nothing in the cabinet, so I took a glass of water. Should I drink 1/2 glass of organic milk when I have a strange pains ? I have taking many natural pills for solving the problem. but nothing solving the problem. Can you give me your suggestions ?

I should ask one subject. I am so sorry to give you a trouble. You choose one of my questions, please.

Thank you so much for your wonderful help.

May God bless you always,

XXXXX

Stop the ginkgo biloba.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. You should stop the ginkgo biloba.

2. The chest pain may be a side effect of ginkgo biloba.

3. Ginkgo biloba increases the action of warfarin and clopidrogel.

4. Fluvastatin also potentiates the action of warfarin.

5. Hence let a physician review your medication. You can take cold milk for the chest discomfort.

6. Upload a PTA (Pure Tone Audiogram) for discussing options for treating the Tinnitus.



I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
