Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Carbimazole is widespread drug utilized for treating hyperthyroidism but ,carbimazole usage was associated with adverse on some organs.

The rats were divided into four groups, the first group is control which represented healthy animals , the second group is carbimazole group was drenched orally with 1.6 mg/kg/day of carbimazole , the third group was drenched orally with 4ml/kg of Nigella for three days in a week plus l.6 mg/kg/day of carbimazole and last group was drenched 4ml/kg of Nigella for three days per week. The samples of Blood were collected for lab analysis including the liver and kidney functions and tissues were underwent for histopathological evaluation. Results: The study demonstrated significant effect of Nigella in reducing the toxicity of "carbimazole" in both biochemical parameters for liver and kidney ("ALT, AST, ALP, Urea, Creatinine") and in histological section as mentioned below in results. Conclusion: From the results we concluded that Nigella sativa may have protective effect against "carbimazole toxicity".
