The hydro-alcoholic extract of Sida acuta was for its antihistaminic studies by using guinea pig ileum and tracheae. The percentage inhibition of hydro-alcoholic extract of Sida acuta (100µg/ml) on histamine induced contraction showed 60.6% in comparision with chlorpheniramine (1µg/ml) 69.69%. The present research study draws the conclusion that hydro-alcoholic extract of Sida acuta showed moderate antihistaminic effect which may be due the combined nature phytoconstituents.
