Can ginkgo biloba pills cause death?

They can if there is a drug interaction. Ask your pharmacist. Pharmacists know everything about the drug.

Can ginkgo biloba pills cause death?
No, only if you got some contaminated product, which by the way is possible.





If you are going to take ginkgo or any other supplements, research the brand carefully. http://www.nutritionaltree.com is a great UNBIASED place to research different brands and see how they are working for people.
Reply:It%26#039;s not likely but Ginko does thin the blood so it%26#039;s always good to discuss with your doctor prior to trying any new nutritional. The doctor may not agree it%26#039;s needed and that%26#039;s fine, just ask if it would be safe for you to use.





Keep in mind that many doctors don%26#039;t recommend natural supplements perhaps because they are not trained in this area.
Reply:If you follow the bottle%26#039;s recommendations, no. Granted, part of the bottle%26#039;s recommendations are to check with your healthcare practitioner if you are taking any prescriptions or have any medical conditions. Certain drugs or medical conditions may have adverse effects (up to and including death), so you should always check on that first. As long as you do that and don%26#039;t take a bottle or two at a time, you shouldn%26#039;t have to worry about death from Ginkgo.





The only exception to that is the astronomically slight possibility of a severe allergic reaction to it. Very few people are allergic to it, and possibly one in several trillion could be deathly allergic to it.
