Abstract
Aim: This study assessed the acute and sub-chronic toxicity of a novel polyherbal formulation tablet in Wistar rats Materials & methods: Acute toxicity and sub-chronic toxicity was assessed following OECD (Organisation for the Economic Co-operation and Development) guidelines based on 423 and 408. Results & conclusion: No mortality and toxicity showed in rats during acute toxicity. The LD50 of the extract was at 2000 mg/kg. In sub-chronic study, both sex rats were orally administered at 250, 500,1000 and 2000 mg/kg for 90 days and revealed no significant difference (p < 0.05) in hematological and other parameters compared with the control. Histopathology study did not reveal morphological alteration. The No observed adverse effect level of the tablet was observed until 2000 mg/kg.
