Can I replace Polocard with a dietary supplement from Ginkgo Bilboa?

Hello, can I replace Polocard 150mg (taken for 20 years) with ginkgo biloba food supplement? I'm 70 years old and I'm afraid of rapid change, but I'd love to try.

Do not replace medications (especially if ordered by a doctor) with herbal dietary supplements. Polocard is a medicine that contains acetylsalicylic acid that prevents the formation of blood clots: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/63041/polocard-tabletki-powlekane/apteki Dietary supplements with Ginkgo Bilboa (ginkgo biloba) do not have the same effect. These preparations can be used, m.in as an adjunct in the therapy of cognitive decline, including dementia: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/milorzab-japonski We wrote more about the difference between dietary supplements and medicines in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czym-roznia-sie-leki-od-suplementow
