    Generally, ginkgo is considered safe for long-term use at recommended dosages. Exceeding a daily dose of 240 mg of the dried ginkgo biloba extract may result in restlessness, diarrhea, and mild gastrointestinal disorders. People with persistent headaches should stop taking ginkgo. Do not use unprocessed leaf, because the unprocessed ginkgo leaf contains ginkgolic acids that are toxic. Ginkgo should not be used by people who are taking the anti-depressant drugs known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or pregnant women.

    Overdose warning: high doses of ginkgo seeds could cause seizures and loss of consciousness. Use caution when you use ginkgo with anticoagulants, such as warfarin (Coumadin) or with aspirin. You could develop serious bleeding.

    Some natural remedies have the same effects as prescription medicines. This means there is danger of being taking too much. If you have any unusual effects while taking any natural remedy, get advice from a doctor right away.
