Hi Avocado01, I would advise you to ask your consultant before taking any medication herbs, vitamins etc. I have Glaucoma & also IPulmanory Fibrosis I asked my Glaucoma consultant about a vitamin supplement for Glaucoma & the tablet I am taking for my Fibrosis if taken with the vitamin could’ve been harmful to me. Please check before taking anything.

I have taken Ginkgo Biloba for about 20 years on the advice of my then consultant ophthalmologist. I have no way of measuring the effect of taking the supplement but as it has not done any harm, I continue to take it.
