Group II was disease control, group III to IV treated with 100, 200 mg/Kg of methanol extract of M. tenacissima whereas group V & VI received 50, 100 mg/kg of methanol extract of S. roxburghiana. Group VII received the higher doses of both extracts continuously from the day 3 to 28. RBC, Haematocrit and Haemoglobin were analysed on day 0,2,7,14,21 and 28. <br /> <b>Results: </b> Continuous 28 days oral administration extracts raised the RBC, haemoglobin, and Haematocrit periodically in rats which were treated with PHZ. <br /> <b>Conclusion: </b>These plants possess antianemic activity and can be used for rapid recovery and management of anaemia. <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Adıyaman University}
