Warnings, Cautions and Contraindications

Avoid with nifedipine (sold under the brand name Adalat among others, a calcium channel blocker medication used to manage angina and high blood pressure) and tacrolimus (an immunosuppressive drug). Caution with antidiabetic and anticoagulant/antiplatelet (such as warfarin) drugs. Limited research suggests ginger may reduce severity of anaesthetic-induced post-operative nausea and vomiting if taken pre-treatment. Combining with antiemetic drugs and chemotherapy (e.g. cisplatin) may be beneficial but medical supervision is recommended.
