The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects of a methanolic extract of Scaevola frutescens leaves by carrageenan-induced paw edema and yeast-induced pyrexia in rats. The plant extract showed a significant reduction in yeast-induced hyperthermia and carrageenan induced paw edema and the effects were comparable to the standard drugs, paracetamol and indomethacin respectively.
