To summarise and critically assess the existing evidence of the effects of Ginkgo biloba preparations on blood coagulation.
Systematic literature searches were conducted using Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Amed, Cinahl, the Cochrane Library and HerbMed to identify CCTs that measured at least one blood coagulation parameter. No language restrictions were imposed. Data were also requested from manufacturers of G. biloba preparations.
Data analysis is currently underway and the results will be presented in due course.
