The zoapatle IV--toxicological and clinical studies
Contraception
|March 1, 1983
Abstract:
The zoapatle aqueous crude extract has been used in Mexico for the last 5 centuries for the induction of labor, treatment of post-partum bleeding problems, and as a menses inducer. Today, it is sold in street markets, and its long documented history of use by humans could be taken as indirect evidence of a lack of toxicity. Rigorous pharmacological and clinical studies described here, fully confirm the empirical observations.
