of laxative and uterine activity, in vitro, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided (CAN).
Excessive doses may be hypotensive and laxative. Some plantain leaves were dangerously adulter-
ated with digitalis in 1997.PLEURISY ROOT (Asclepias tuberosa L.) +Activities (Pleurisy Root) — Abortifacient (f; TOM); Analgesic (f; FAD; PH2); Antiinflam-
