Atibala (Abutilon Indicum): Proposal For Standardisation Of Dosage And Duration Of Treatment

Atibala [Abutilon indicum] is widely used as a drug in many diseases. However neither the dose nor the duration of treatment are authenticated. Considering vrumhana effect of atibala, we propose an experimental study employing albino rats for attaining the dosage and duration of treatment. Once dosage and duration of treatment is known it could be useful in the treatment of other ailments also. REFERANCES · 1 1) NARAYAN AIYER M.A. Abutilon indicum, Pharmacognosy of ayu.
