The Group II received standard dietalong with anti-tuberculous drug. The Group III and IV received standard dietalong with INH in addition to Cassia Fistula and Garlic. Blood samples were collected after 1 week of acclimatization and at 30th day.

Group III showed values close to normal levels of of liver function, but Group IV showed values within range of normal levels of biochemical indicators of liver function.
Conclusion: Toxic dose of INH caused severe liver injury in group II, while liver injury was prevented in group III and IV receiving CF and Garlic, thus providing hepato-protective effect.
