A number of drugs including proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists are available for the treatment of peptic ulcer, but clinical evaluation of these drugs has shown incidence of relapse, side effects and drug interactions. This has been rational for the development of new anti ulcer drugs and search for novel molecules has been extended to herbal that offer better protection and relapse. The present study is to evaluate the anti ulcer activity by using herbal remedy Psydrax dicoccum. The methanolic extract of Psydrax dicoccum treated groups shows a significant effect when compared to control group animals which indicating that the plant having the anti ulcer activity. And also the results showed - that the methanolic extract of the Psydrax dicoccum having the antioxidant activity.
