Approximately 30 to 45 percent of all adults will experience ringing in their ears** at some point in their lives. They usually disappear again within a few hours. However, if the sound persists for days or weeks, it is called tinnitus.

Ringing in the ears takes various forms: beeping, whistling, hissing, buzzing or ringing. Treatment should not be delayed as the best chance of recovery is within the first three months. Approximately 80 percent of acute tinnitus cases can be cured***.

A highly concentrated Ginkgo biloba extract has proven to support the therapy. Ginkobil ratiopharm 120 mg film-coated tablets contain such a high-quality ginkgo biloba extract. This promotes blood circulation and regeneration in the inner ear. This shortens the time it takes for the symptoms to improve and the ringing in the ears decreases.

Another special feature of the Ginkobil ratiopharm 120 mg film-coated tablets is the tablet size. They are among the smallest 120 mg tablets and are easy to swallow.
