Remark : The administration of a garlic extract (with an allicin potential of 600 micrograms; alliin, 1.5 mg; and S - allyl - L - cysteine, 0.03 mg in each 600 mg tablet, 3 x 600 mg twice daily) insignificantly increased the ratio of dextromethorphan to its metabolite from 0.044 at baseline to 0.052 (p> 0.05). No significant differences were seen in pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC, t1/2) for alprazolam at baseline, and after garlic extract treatment.
