2 interactions related to ginseng
glipizide + ginseng
Ginseng — especially American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) — can lower blood sugar after meals, and glipizide also lowers blood sugar by stimulating insulin release. Taken together, their glucose-lowering effects can add up, modestly increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Let the prescriber who manages your glipizide know before starting any ginseng product.

ginseng + caffeine
Ginseng and caffeine are both mild stimulants, so combining them can additively increase alertness, jitteriness, palpitations, or insomnia in sensitive people, though the best evidence shows no meaningful cardiac signal from ginseng itself.
