The present study deals with the effect of ethanolic extract of leaves of calotropis gigantea by using in vivo models. The study shows that the extract is effective against histamine induced bronchial muscle contractions in guinea pigs. Animal study involves the use of ethanolic extract of leaves that shows action against histamine induced broncho- constriction by using histamine chamber.
