  • Title: Antitussive effect of Adhatoda vasica extract on mechanical or chemical stimulation-induced coughing in animals.
    Author: Dhuley JN.
    Journal: J Ethnopharmacol; 1999 Nov 30; 67(3):361-5. PubMed ID: 10617073.
    Abstract:
    The antitussive activity of Adhatoda vasica (AV) extract was evaluated in anaesthetized guinea pigs and rabbits and in unanaesthetized guinea pigs. AV was shown to have a good antitussive activity. Intravenously, it was 1/20-1/40 as active as codeine on mechanically and electrically induced coughing in rabbits and guinea-pigs. After oral administration to the guinea-pig the antitussive activity of AV was similar to codeine against coughing induced by irritant aerosols.
