The biochemical analysis and XRF studies of the drug were done to found out the metals and minerals present in the herb. In pharmacological aspect the Nephroprotective activity of the drug in Gentamicin models was studied in Wistar albino rats. The rats in prophylactic group were treated with the decoction at the dose of 270 mg (5.4 ml) and 500 mg (10.0 ml) / kg. They showed significant reduction in the level of Blood urea and Serum creatinine, Histopathology also reveals protective effect on renal damage. These findings suggest that the drug possess Nephroprotective activity with minimal toxicity and could offer promising role in the management of renal damage caused by nephrotoxins like Gentamicin.
