upset stomach, and allergic reactions. These side effects are more common with raw
garlic.
Garlic can thin the blood (reduce the ability of blood
to clot) in a manner similar to aspirin. This effect may be a problem during or after surgery. Use garlic
with caution if you are planning to have surgery or dental work, or if you have a bleeding disorder. A
cautious approach is to avoid garlic in your diet or as a supplement for at least 1 week before
surgery.

effectiveness of saquinavir, a drug used to treat HIV infection. Its effect on other drugs has not been
well studied.
