%X The effect of Methanolic,chloroform and diethel ether extracts of Adhatoda vasica was investigated in rats to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity by using three models, i.e. Aspirin, Alcohol and pyloric ligation models 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 alcoholic extract significantly (P < 0.001) decreases the volume of gastric acid secretion, PH, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index with respect to control.
