The reduction in ulcer index in both the models along with reduction in volume and total acidity, proved the anti ulcer activity of opuntia ficus indica fruit extract and phyllanthus Niruri herb extract. Thus it can be concluded that both plant possesses anti-ulcer activity, which can be attributed to its anti-oxidant mechanism of action.
