✦ Synopsis

The Ravonoid content of 187.5 mg of Bridelia ferruginea leaf extract was calculated to be approximately 0.015% based on rutin. There was no significant difference (p=O.O5) in the mean values of flavonoids for the tabletted and untahletted extract. The moisture adsorption of the crude drug tablets was of Vander Waals type. The tablets showed a very long shelf life of about 96 years. A 25 mglkg of B. ferruginea tablet lowered the blood glucose level of normal healthy rabbits by about 40%.
