ABSTRACT:
Helminthiasis is an infection of the human body with parasitic worm such as roundworms, earthworms, hookworms, flukes, tapeworms and pinworms. The worms usually only involve the intestinal tract but sometimes they may invade other organs. The present study was carried out with the aim to formulate, evaluate and In-vitro anthelmintic activity of herbal suspension of Methanolic extract of Musa paradisiaca Linn. The three forms of Suspension (S1, S2 and S3) were evaluated for pH, Specific gravity, sedimentation rate, Stability study in that S2 formulation show better result as well as the anthelmintic activity was carried out using adult earthworms Pheritoma posthuma against Methanolic extract of Musa paradisiaca Linn.( 25.33±0.33to paralysis and 38.33±0.33to death of worms), Albendazole as standard reference (12.03±0.62 to paralysis and 22.94±2.42 to death of worms) and normal saline as control (No change) were S2 formulation shows 12.22±2.12 to paralysis and 22.77±0.33 to death of the worms was determined.
