Abstract

The aim of present study is to evaluate the styptic activity of Naaga sangu parpam. Animals were divided into three groups and each group contains six animals. First group received 1ml of Ghee, second group received 10 mg/kg of Adrenochrome, third group and fourth group received 12mg/kg and 24mg/kg of Naaga Sangu Parpam respectively. After 1 hour, the following parameters such as clotting time, bleeding time, prothrombin time, activated partial prothrombin time and fibrinogen time were screened. Naaga Sangu Parpam at both 12mg/kg and 24mg/kg exhibited significant (***P < 0.001) Styptic activity.
