Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Ginkgo biloba is a herbal supplement that is used to improve cognitive function and memory.
According to the Mayo Clinic [2], ginkgo biloba may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, antidepressants, and anti-seizure drugs. However, there is no mention of any potential interactions with ibuprofen.
The NHS [3] also states that ibuprofen can be taken with most medicines and herbal supplements, but there are some exceptions. For example, ibuprofen may interact with blood thinners, corticosteroids, and some medicines used to treat high blood pressure. However, there is no mention of any potential interactions with ginkgo biloba.
DrugPatentWatch [1] provides information on the patent status of Advil, but does not provide any information on drug interactions.
In summary, while ginkgo biloba may interact with certain medications, there is no evidence to suggest that it interacts with ibuprofen. However, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before combining any medications or supplements.
