In group I (n=25) patient have advised to take starch capsule 500mg TID as a placebo and in Group II (n=25) standardized aqueous extract of E. littorale blume(Mamajjaka) 500mg TID has been given for 3 month with follow up of 1 month. During the entire course of therapy patients were advised to continue their ongoing conventional treatment along with trial drug.

Result: Statistical analysis showed significant improvement in dyslipidemic state and hyperglycemic state of MS patient as compared to placebo group.
