The effect of Methanolic root extract of Symphytum officinale Linn was investigated in rats to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity by using Aspirin plus pyloric ligation model on experimentally induced gastric ulcer. The parameters taken to assess anti-ulcer activity were volume of gastric secretion, PH, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index. The results indicate that the methanolic extract significantly (P< 0.001) decreases the volume of gastric acid secretion, PH, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index with respect to control.
