It is concluded by a new report that restrictions should be placed on the use of Ginkgo biloba (G. biloba), a top-selling herbal remedy, because there is growing scientific evidence that Ginkgo may raise the danger of seizures of people with epilepsy and could reduce the effectiveness of anti-seizure drugs.一份新報告得出的結論是，應限制使用最暢銷的草藥銀杏葉（G. biloba），因為越來越多的科學證據表明，銀杏葉可能會增加癲癇患者的癲癇發作風險。可能會降低抗癲癇藥的有效性。 The article, appearing in ACS' monthly Journal of Natural Products, also indicates that Ginkgo may have adverse effects in other people after eating raw or roasted Ginkgo seed or drinking tea prepared from Ginkgo leaves.這篇發表在ACS月刊《天然產品雜誌》上的文章還表明，在吃生的或烤的銀杏種子或喝由銀杏葉製成的茶後，銀杏可能對其他人有不利影響。
