Disorders of the plasmatic and platelet component ofhemostasis is the mein pathogenetic factor of "vascular disasters" – strokes, infarctions, thromboses. They increase the risk of postoperative complications in patients with atherosclerotic arterial lesions. A study was made of the effect ofallicor on the blood coagulation system in atherosclerotic patients and normal volunteers given the drug in a single dose or for a long time. Administration of allicor in a dose of 600 mg (one tablet 2 times a day) for 28 days brought about a decrease in platelet aggregation and lessened fibrino-gen content in normal volunteers. After a single intake ofallicor in a dose of 300 mg (one tablet) the patients with grade I-II hypercoagulation showed desaggregation andflbrinolytic effects. Platelet activity and the time offibrinolysis changed 2 hours folio wing allicor intake in a dose of 300 mg (one tablet). The antiaggregation andflbrinolytic action lasted 8-12 hours,the recovery of the previous parameters took place between 12 and 24 hours after a single drug intake.
