Hello,
Thank You for trusting HCM
Raw garlic has several health benefits like decreasing blood pressure, cholesterol levels, antioxidant properties (act against toxic oxidants in the body), antifungal properties and anti-aging properties. The compound Allicin present in garlic is responsible for most of the health benefits.
It is safe to take raw garlic along with Plavix.
Hope I was able to help you
Please address further questions/ concerns
