Abstract
Appendix on berberine in toxin‐induced experimental choleraSummary: Oral administration of berberine to infant rabbits 18–24 h before the intraintestinal administration of choleragenic toxins, arrests diarrhoea or significantly prolongs the survival time. The use of berberine in the treatment of clinical cholera is further justified. Berberine is an antidiarrhoeal drug and the host tissues play a major part in the control of diarrhoeal symptoms.Keywords
