In-Vitro Uterotonic Activity of Involon

Abstract

Four successive extracts (petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water) of Involon(a polyherbal preparation of M/s Natural Remedies Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore) were tested for in-vitro uterotonic activity using isolated rat uterus. The activity was compared with commercially available synthetic Oxytocin and the methanolic extract of Involon was found to be most active among the extracts tested.
