Ginseng and ginkgo show no problems with drug interaction

The natural herbal supplements known as ginseng and ginkgo biloba won't interfere with prescription and over-the-counter drugs insofar as absorption, according to a new information.

Herbs like St. John's Wort have been known to interfere with prescription drugs, but that does into carry over into all herbs like some folks or doctors may believe.

The amount taken, the time and many other factors have to be considered when mixing prescription drugs with natural herbs -- and this mix of variables is called "pharmacokinetics." Are you on certain drugs but still continue taking ginkgo biloba and ginseng? Rest assured that most likely, you're in the clear in terms of getting benefits from the absorption of those prescriptions.
