Ginkgo + Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate
Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate brand name: Anacin w/ Codeine.
Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate falls into 4 drug categories that Ginkgo can interact with; the most serious is rated moderate. Theoretically, taking ginkgo with drugs that lower the seizure threshold might increase the risk for convulsions.
Read the full interaction reportGinkgo and Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate
These two interact in 4 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.
Why Are There 4 Interactions?
Ginkgo interacts with whole categories of medication. Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate falls into 4 of those categories, so it can interact with Ginkgo in 4 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).
SEIZURE THRESHOLD LOWERING DRUGS
1 of 4Why this applies to Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate
Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate falls under SEIZURE THRESHOLD LOWERING DRUGS — the group Ginkgo interacts with.
Ginkgo seeds contain ginkgotoxin. Large amounts of ginkgotoxin can cause neurotoxicity and seizure. Ginkgotoxin is present in much larger amounts in ginkgo seeds than leaves. Ginkgo leaf extract contains trace amounts of ginkgotoxin. The amount of ginkgotoxin in ginkgo leaf and leaf extract seems unlikely to cause toxicity. However, there are anecdotal reports of seizure occurring after use of ginkgo leaf both in patients without a history of seizure disorder and in those with previously well-controlled epilepsy.
Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
Here's the thing about this combination product (aspirin, caffeine, and codeine): the concern with ginkgo is the codeine and caffeine pieces. Both can nudge your brain toward being a little more excitable, and in theory ginkgo may add to that and slightly raise the chance of a seizure. This is a theoretical, anecdotal worry, not something proven in studies. Ginkgo seeds carry a compound called ginkgotoxin, but the leaf extract most supplements use has only trace amounts.
For most people, this won't be a problem. But if you have a history of seizures or take other medicines that lower the seizure threshold, it's worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them. One more note: both aspirin and ginkgo can thin the blood, so watch for easy bruising too.

CYTOCHROME P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) SUBSTRATES
2 of 4Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) SUBSTRATES.
Laboratory research suggests that ginkgo leaf extract can mildly inhibit CYP1A2 enzymes. However, clinical research suggests ginkgo might not affect CYP1A2. Until more is known, use ginkgo cautiously in patients taking drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
Here's the piece that actually matters for this combo: of the three ingredients, the caffeine is the one cleared by the CYP1A2 enzyme. Lab studies hint that ginkgo might mildly slow that enzyme down, which could let caffeine linger a little longer and leave you feeling more jittery, restless, or unable to sleep, with a faster heartbeat. That said, real-world human studies suggest ginkgo probably doesn't change caffeine much, so this is more theoretical than proven.
I'd flag a separate, more practical concern though: both aspirin and ginkgo can thin the blood, so together they may raise your bruising or bleeding risk. That part is worth running by your pharmacist or doctor before you combine them.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES
3 of 4Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES.
There is conflicting evidence about whether ginkgo induces or inhibits CYP3A4. Ginkgo does not appear to affect hepatic CYP3A4. However, it is not known if ginkgo affects intestinal CYP3A4. Preliminary clinical research suggests that taking ginkgo does not significantly affect levels of donepezil, lopinavir, or ritonavir, which are all CYP3A4 substrates. Other clinical research also suggests ginkgo does not significantly affect CYP3A4 activity. However, there are two case reports of decreased efavirenz concentrations and increased viral load in patients taking ginkgo. It is suspected that terpenoids from the ginkgo extract reduced drug levels by inducing cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4).
Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
Here's the bigger picture with this combo pill. The CYP3A4 concern on file is pretty theoretical, and the studies are honestly mixed about whether ginkgo speeds up or slows down that enzyme. For this particular product, CYP3A4 is not the main pathway that matters anyway, so I wouldn't lose sleep over that piece.
What I'd actually focus on is the aspirin. Both aspirin and ginkgo can thin the blood, so taking them together may raise your risk of bruising, nosebleeds, or stomach bleeding. The codeine part also relies on a different enzyme (CYP2D6) to become active, so ginkgo isn't the issue there. Before pairing these, please check with your pharmacist or doctor, especially if you take other blood thinners.

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS
4 of 4Aspirin, Caffeine, Codeine Phosphate also falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS.
Several pharmacodynamic studies suggest that ginkgo inhibits platelet aggregation. It is thought that the ginkgo constituent, ginkgolide B, displaces platelet-activating factor (PAF) from its binding sites, decreasing blood coagulation. Several case reports have documented serious bleeding events in patients taking ginkgo. However, population and clinical studies have produced mixed results. Some evidence shows that short-term use of ginkgo leaf does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation and blood clotting. A study in healthy males who took a specific ginkgo leaf extract (EGb 761) 160 mg twice daily for 7 days found no change in prothrombin time. An analysis of a large medical record database suggests that ginkgo increases the risk of a bleeding adverse event by 38% when taken concurrently with warfarin. It has been suggested that ginkgo has to be taken for at least 2-3 weeks to have a significant effect on platelet aggregation. However, a meta-analysis of 18 studies using standardized ginkgo extracts, 80-480 mg daily for up to 32 weeks, did not find a significant effect on platelet aggregation, fibrinogen concentration, or PT/aPTT. In addition, a single dose of ginkgo plus clopidogrel or ticlopidine does not seem to significantly increase bleeding time or platelet aggregation. Also, taking ginkgo leaf extract daily for 8 days in conjunction with rivaroxaban does not affect anti-factor Xa activity; however, this study did not evaluate bleeding time.
Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
The piece that matters here is the aspirin in this combination product. Aspirin is itself a blood thinner that keeps your platelets from sticking together, and Ginkgo may nudge platelets in the same direction. Stack them and you could, in theory, bruise more easily, bleed a little longer from a cut, or notice things like nosebleeds or stomach upset. The caffeine and codeine parts aren't really involved in this particular interaction.
Now, the honest part: the high-quality studies are actually mixed, and several found no meaningful change in clotting. So this is more of a cautious watch-out than a sure thing. If you take this medicine regularly, just run the Ginkgo by your pharmacist or doctor first, and let them know about any unusual bleeding.

About Ginkgo
What is Ginkgo?
- Memory and cognitive support
- Age-related mental decline
- Circulation problems
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Dizziness or vertigo
Ginkgo is one of the world's most popular herbal supplements, mostly taken to support memory and circulation. The evidence for these uses is mixed and generally weak, and it is not proven to prevent memory loss or dementia. It is usually well tolerated in healthy adults, but it can thin the blood, so talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it.
