The study involved intra-peritoneal administration of different doses of the extract to groups of female mice. Results. Signs resultant toxicity and possible death of animals were monitored for 14 days to ascertain the median lethal dose (LD50) of the extract.

Globularia alypum plant can be considered as safe plant, as long as the LD50 is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weigh
