Itchiness In Arm. Taking Ginko Tablets. What Is Going On?
The last 2 days I have been taking gingko tablets in the morning (10am) to help with my studying. Now lately around midnight iv been getting itchy on my left arm near elbow last night and now its real itchy where 2 bumps have come up and now its gone away. Iv never had this before and the only thing different is the tablets and coffee from uni.

Hi,gingko biloba is herbal medicine used for memory improvement, dementia, Alzheimers disease.. There are many side effects. Common are stomach upsets,headache, nausea, vomiting,diarrhea.etc. Skin rash can occur, so you stop it for few days. Take antihistaminics to relieve itch. After few days start again, and if itch recurs, then stop it permenantly. ...ok
