Abstract

The methanol extract of Lagerstroemia parviflora. Roxb leaves was tested for antipyretic effects on rats. The extract (200 and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) showed very significant reduction of yeast-induced pyrexia in rats with respect to the control group. The antipyretic activity of the extract was comparable to the standard prototype, paracetamol.
