Haematological and Histopathological Studies on Rabbits on "Madam Catherine" Blood Tonic

Abstract

Haematological and histopathological studies were conducted on a locally prepared blood tonic, named 'Madam Catherine", using rabbits as experimental animals. A progressive gain in weight was observed in both animals on control and test diets. Haematological studies revealed the drug to be hematinic and non-toxic. Histopathological studies on organs also showed no evidence of hepatic or renal toxicity, jejunal atrophy or gastritis.
