In Vivo Anti-Inflammatory, Analgesic And Antipyretic Effects Of Dichloromethane Stem Bark Extract Of Acacia Mellifera In Mice And Rat Models
Inflammation is a reaction to irritants that causes an injury to the body. Pain is a physical discomfort caused by injury or illness while pyrexia is an increase in body temperature above the normal range (36.5°C–37.5°C). Commonly used conventional drugs against inflammation, pain and pyrexia are effective but due to long term use, these drugs tend to be costly and are associated with adverse side effects.
