Antitoxic Activity of Extract from Salix Viminalis Leaves under Conditions of 5-Fluorouracil Treatment.

Injection of 5-fluorouracil to animals caused a pronounced toxic effect. Therapeutic and preventive treatment with Salix viminalis leaf extract significantly reduced the negative effects of the antitumor drug: promoted recovery of the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and visceral parameters and prevented ulceration. Combined use of the cytostatic and Salix viminalis extract increased the efficiency of antitumor therapy.
