The methanol extract and lyophilized decoction of Teucrium divaricatum Heldr ssp. divaricatum protected gastric mucosa against lesions induced by ethanol in rats. The preventive antiulcer effect of preparations was reversed by pretreatment with indomethacin. Nevertheless, in the Shay‐ligated method no decrease in either total volume, acidity or peptic activity of gastric juice was observed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
