Abstract

Aqueous extract of Salix tetrasperma Roxburgh (Family: Salicaceae) was investigated for diuretic and laxative activity in albino rats that was compared with standard drugs Furosemide (10mg/kg, p.o.) and Agar agar (300mg/kg, p.o.), respectively. The extract was found to produce significant diuretic as well as laxative activity in dose dependant manner. The activities may be contributed to the phytoconstituents present.
