(2) was administered paracetamol orally (2g/kg b.wt) for 4 weeks. Gp. (3) was administered ethanolic extract of ginger (200 mg/kg b.wt) orally for 4 weeks. Gp. (4) was administered ethanolic extract of moringa (200 mg/kg b.wt) orally for 4 weeks. Gp.( 5) was administered silymarin (200mg/kg b.wt) by oral route for 4 weeks. Gp. (6): was administered ethanolic extract of ginger for 2 weeks then paracetamol for the following 2weeks by the previous doses. Gp. (7) was administered ethanolic extract of moringa for 2 weeks then paracetamol for the following 2 weeks. Gp. (8): was administered combined extract of ginger and moringa for 2 weeks then paracetamol for the other 2 weeks. Gp. (9) was administered paracetamol for 2 weeks then ethanolic extract of ginger for other 2 weeks. Gp. (10) was administered paracetamol for 2 weeks then ethanolic extract of moringa for the next 2 weeks. Gp. (11) was administered paracetamol for 2 weeks then treated with both ethanolic extracts of ginger and moringa for another 2 weeks. Gp. (12) was taken.
