Abstract

The present study deals with the evaluation of diuretic activityof the plant Mussaenda frondossa Linn. ,using Lipschitz method. Wistar albino rats

was divided into 4 groups of 6 animals in each. Frusemide (20 mg/Kg p.o) used as a standard diuretics. Two doses of plant extract was used for
the study. In urine the volume and concentration of electrolytes was measured at the end of 24 hrs. Result shows significant increase in diuretic
activity.
