Lantana camara, widely used in folk medicine, possesses several pharmacological properties, including antipyretic, antimicrobial and antimutagenic properties. Lantana poisoning causes livestock mortality and morbidity; and also has adverse effects on humans working in lantana-infested forests, pastures or orchards.

The extract did not interfere with overall weight or internal organ weights, but interfered with sperm count, daily sperm production and sperm morphology in a dose-dependent manner.
