| Effective dose(experimental): |
In cases of radioprotective studues, exceding a particular
concentration, leaf extract is reported to start manifesting its toxic
effects and resulted in decline of radioprotective effect.[1],[2]
|
| Mode and form of administration: |
orally[3],[4],[5], and Intraperitoneal [6],[2]
Required amount of extract is dissolved in 1% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in sterile
normal physiological saline to be given orally in mice in vivo radioprotection studies[3],[4]
The extract was more effective in radioprotection when administered through
the intraperitoneal route at equimolar doses than the oral route in an in vivo study with mice[6]
|
| Time of administration: |
|
| Side Effects: |
|
| Combined action with other drugs/therapies: |
Aqueous alcoholic seed extract, stem bark extract and ellagitannin from fruit extract scavenged Ferric ion reducing antioxidant activity in vitro[7],[8], [9],[10]
|
| Precautions & Contraindications: |
