Clopidogrel and Ginkgo Biloba: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 5 records that name Clopidogrel and Ginkgo Biloba together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Clopidogrel and Ginkgo Biloba. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

5 studies naming Clopidogrel and Ginkgo Biloba.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Pharmacodynamic interaction studies of Ginkgo biloba with cilostazol and clopidogrel in healthy human subjects.

British journal of clinical pharmacology · 2007 · PMID 17010102

Randomized Controlled Trial

“Coadministration of G. biloba either with cilostazol or clopidogrel did not enhance antiplatelet activity compared with individual agents. Ginkgo biloba potentiated the bleeding time prolongation effect of cilostazol. There was no significant correlation between prolongation of bleeding time and inhibition of platelet aggregation.”

Aruna et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Clopidogrel and Ginkgo Biloba in its title.

Effects of ginkgo diterpene lactone glucosamine combined with clopidogrel on hemodynamics, neurocytokines, and inflammatory responses in patients with cerebral infarction complicated by coronary heart disease.

Journal of medical biochemistry · 2025 · PMID 41281275

152 participants

“The combination of GM and CLO is more effective than CLO monotherapy in improving hemodynamics, enhancing neurological function, and mitigating inflammatory responses in patients with CI complicated by CHD.”

Zhu et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Clopidogrel and Ginkgo Biloba in its title.

Impact of Ginkgo biloba drug interactions on bleeding risk and coagulation profiles: A comprehensive analysis.

PloS one · 2025 · PMID 40198642

Observational StudyHuman subjects

“Interactions with ticagrelor, etoricoxib, insulin, omeprazole, and domperidone were associated with abnormal coagulation tests without affecting the reported bleeding. These findings underscore the critical need of evaluating potential interactions involving Ginkgo biloba extract drug interactions in clinical pratice, particularly when assessing bleeding risk and managing coagulation.”

Mai et al. · From the abstract

Names Clopidogrel and Ginkgo Biloba together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Clopidogrel, Ginkgo Biloba, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
