Ginkgo Biloba Works Just as Well as Dementia Drugs

European Journal of Neurology September 2006; 13(9): 981-985

An Italian study has determined that ginkgo biloba works just as well as Aricept (donepezil) in treating mild or moderate Alzheimer's-related dementia. Based on test scores to determine the severity of dementia afterward, scientists agreed both ginkgo biloba and Aricept work just as effectively to slow down the damage.
