Hydroethanolic extract of leaves extenuates the severity of diarrhoea in female Wistar rats.

Objectives: Nigeria ranks second in the global prevalence of diarrhoea with most cases concentrated in the Northern-region of the country. This research explored the antidiarrhoeal efficacy of the hydroethanolic extract of leaves (HEPTL), locally used to manage diarrhoeal conditions in Kebbi State, Nigeria.

Methods: leaves were screened for their secondary metabolites and mineral constituents.
