Abstract
The spermicidal action of a Saussurea salsa (Pall.) Spreng. (SS) extract has been demonstrated by in vivo and in vitro tests in comparison to the reference preparation (Pharmatex). The SS extract in therapeutic concentrations did not produce significant irritating action on mucous membranes and had no negative influence on the normal genital microflora.
