Abstract
Background:Dhatryadi ghrita consists of dhatri, is known to have number of curative properties since ages. It does not causes any toxic or adverse effect, but there is no scientific evidence available.Objective:The present piece of research is aimed to study the toxic effects in order to lay down the safety parameters of methanolic extract obtained from Dhatryadi Ghrita in wistar rats (180-200g) as per the standards set by The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or OECD.Materials and Methods:Group 1 was used as a control for comparing the behavior of rats from all groups which were administered extracts of different concentrations. The animals in Group 2 were administered a dose of 1000, Group 3, 2000, and Group 4, 3000, respectively in the units of mg/kg and Group 5 were given a dose of 4000 mg/kg accordingly.Results:The acute toxicity studies of the experiment dealing with different doses as varying from 1000-4000 mg/kg, which did not resulted in any death of any animal till 14 days of observation in the experimentation period.Conclusion:Dhatryadi Ghrita is safe in rodent and mice. Hence, the extract is safer for therapeutic use in pharmaceutical formulations. Ghrita in different concentrations were found to be completely safe and non-toxic under acute toxicity studies.
Highlights
The concern for seasoning toxicity has emerged as a giant matter of concern for several national and international bodies to formulate and implement numerous tips for assessing, observance and preventing toxicity arising because of seasoning merchandise

Summary
The concern for seasoning toxicity has emerged as a giant matter of concern for several national and international bodies to formulate and implement numerous tips for assessing, observance and preventing toxicity arising because of seasoning merchandise. At United Nations agency, metropolis observance Centre takes care of compilation and dissemination of data relating to seasoning drug adverse reactions, whereas Organization for Economic. Cooperation and Development (OECD) sets tips relating to toxicity study. Several marketed seasoning merchandise area unit are often known to have toxic effects. In step with OECD tips, so as to work and make up one's perception regarding the parameters of safety and efficacy of a replacement drug, pharmacology studies area unit terribly essential in numerous animals like monkey, dog, rabbit, mice etc. The correct screening of seasoning merchandise for numerous toxic effects. It does not causes any toxic or adverse effect, but there is no scientific evidence available
