The hydro-alcoholic extract of Cucurbita maxima pulp shows the haematological activity against phenyl hydrazine induced anaemic rat. The hydro alcoholic extract of 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg are shown significant action against the anaemia, when compared to the 10 mg/kg of phenylhydrazine induced group after 4 weeks of treatment. The parameters determined are haemaglobulin content, RBC, WBC.
