Caution is advised in patients with bleeding disorders and for those on medications that may increase the risk of bleeding (i.e. anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs).7,8 In a study of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), another species of ginseng, this extract was shown to reduce the effect of anticoagulants.9
For this reason, interaction between Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and anticoagulants cannot be completely excluded. Patients on anticoagulants should seek medical advice before starting treatment with this product.
