Ginkgo biloba can inhibit platelet-activating factor (PAF) and platelet aggregation, which may add to aspirin's irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 and thromboxane A2. Observational data suggest a modest increase in minor bleeding events when the two are combined, and there are case reports of more serious bleeds in vulnerable patients, though a controlled trial found no measurable added effect on platelet function.
