PubMed indexes 8 records that name Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol 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.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol. 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.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
“EGb may improve the decreased peripheral immune functions in schizophrenia. The beneficial effects of EGb on the immune systems and the improvement of schizophrenic symptoms may be medicated through its antioxidant activity.”
Names both Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol in its title.
“SOD levels before treatment in all patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls; after treatment, the SOD level decreased significantly in group 1 but not in group 2. These results suggest that EGb may enhance the efficiency of the classic antipsychotic haloperidol in patients with schizophrenia, especially on their positive symptoms, and that EGb may work through an antioxidant effect that is involved in the therapeutic mechanism in patients with…”
Names both Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol in its title.
“EGb treatment may enhance the effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs and reduce their extrapyramidal side effects.”
Names both Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol in its title.
“EGb may enhance the efficacy of classic antipsychotic haloperidol on schizophrenia, especially on positive symptoms. It may work through an antioxidant efficacy that is involved in the therapeutic mechanism.”
Names both Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol in its title.
“Haloperidol also decreased BDNF expression in all four brain regions, but both EGb761 and vitamin E administration significantly increased BDNF expression. Our results showed that both EGb761 and VE treatments exerted similar positive effects in a rat model of TD and increased BDNF expression levels in the four tested brain regions, suggesting that both EGb761 and vitamin E improve TD symptoms, possibly by enhancing BDNF in the brain and/or via their free radical-scavenging…”
Names both Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol in its title.
“These results demonstrate that long-term haloperidol administration may affect Bcl-2 protein family expression and promote neuronal apoptosis in the basal ganglia. In combination with their antioxidant capacity, EGb761 and alpha-tocopherol's antiapoptotic effects through Bcl-2 might account for the symptom improvement observed in haloperidol-induced TD rats.”
Names both Ginkgo Biloba and Haloperidol in its title.
“These data show that repeated EGb 761 administration increases the effects of drugs that modify motor behavior in mice. Since the catalepsy test has predictive value regarding extrapyramidal effects, the possibility of pharmacological interactions between haloperidol and Ginkgo biloba extracts should be further investigated in clinical studies.”

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
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 Ginkgo Biloba, Haloperidol, 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.
NutriStack is an informational and organizational tool, not a medical service, and not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication.
