Abstract:

This study deals with the effect of 7.1mg/day, 10.5mg/day and 14mg/day doses of mefenamic acid administered for 12 days to three groups of Uromastix hardwickii respectively. Individual blood samples were obtained from the anterior abdominal vein and hemoglobin content was determined. The hemoglobin in test was 5.1g/100mI compared to 8.0g/100ml of controls in experiment I and its amount remained almost similar in the case of experiment II, whereas, 4.5g/100ml was observed of test compared to 8.0g/100mI of their counterparts.
