Oral contraception and ginkgo biloba?

Does anyone know if taking Ginkgo Biloba would effect oral contraception (the pill - Cilest)?

for example if it was added to a smoothie?

Ive bought a smoothie from Tescos and it says it has it in it, I'm such a worrier about my oral contraception and it not working becuase of something I've eaten/taken accidentally, so sorry if this is a silly question

Serious answers only PLEASE.
Answer:
as far as i know it a herbal remedy used by beauty therapists. it should not have any affect on the pill though.

to be safe speak to a pharmacist or doctor.
No sure but you would be well advised to ask your local pharmacist he or she would know the answer. Alway best to be on the safe side.

PS I did read sometime back that Ginko can be contra to some things.
Best checking with your local Chemist.If he speaks English that is
1st of all, remember everyone is different Angelique. My girl was on the pill %26 took a ginkgo biloba pill every day for months %26 months. It wasn't Cilest however she never became pregnant. Secondly, with regards to contraception on this overpopulated planet, there will never be any inquiries that fall under the heading of "silly questions". Carry on..
