Anemia was induced using tannic acid, and the rats were divided into five groups for 30 days. Group one received a standard diet, group two a standard diet with ferrous sulphate and the remaining groups received a standard diet with different concentrations of flaxseed extract. Hematological parameters, including hemoglobin, MCV, MCHC, and MCH levels, were measured before and after treatment. The results showed that flaxseed extract showed dose-dependent improvement in hematological parameters, compared to ferrous sulphate, suggesting its potential as a natural treatment for iron-deficiency anaemia. Higher doses of flaxseed extract may further enhance the therapeutic benefits in patients with iron-deficiency anemia. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol18no2/comparative-evaluation-of-flaxseed-linum-usitatissimum-and-ferrous-sulphate-in-tannic-acid-induced-iron-deficiency-anaemia-in-wistar-rats/ Alsi Anaemia Hematinic Effect Iron Deficiency Anaemia Linum Usitatissimum Mean Cell Volume Tannic Acid Wistar Rats
