Quick answer: Before starting VapoBrain, check for dementia medicines (donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine), blood thinners or daily aspirin, thyroid medicine, sedatives and antidepressants. Huperzine A and ginkgo are the main concerns. A pharmacist can review the label in minutes.
The checklist
- Dementia medicine: huperzine A acts the same way.
- Warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel or daily aspirin: ginkgo adds bleeding risk.
- Thyroid medicine: Bacopa may interact.
- Sedatives or sleep aids: Bacopa can cause drowsiness.
- Planned surgery or dental work: stop ginkgo two weeks before.
Five questions to ask
- Is this safe with everything I take?
- Which side effects should make me stop?
- Should I avoid it before any procedure?
- Is the huperzine A amount appropriate?
- How long should I try it?
