چکیده
Andrographis echioides Andrographis echioides is used in the traditional medicine as diuretic. In the present study, the diuretic activity of Petroleum ether, Chloroform extract of Andrographis echioides was studied and the activity was compared with furosimide as standard. The Chloroform extract exhibited significant diuretic activity as evidenced by increased total urine volume and the urine concentration of Na+, K+ and Cl-. The results thus support the use of as diuretic agent. When compared with reference standard the volue is P<0.01.These results clearly indicate that Andrographis echioides is effective against free radical mediated diseases.
