Therefore, this study aims to determine the antidiarrheal effect of &lt;em&gt;C. costata&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract and fractions&lt;em&gt; in vivo&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The antidiarrheal activity was evaluated against animal models of diarrhea induced by castor oil, charcoal meal, and entero-pooling test. The extract group received doses of 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, while the fraction groups was treated with WFCC, EAFCC, and nHFCC, in doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. The negative control received 10 mL/kg of the dissolving vehicle, while the positive was treated with loperamide 3 mg/kg.&lt;strong&gt; Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The results showed that EECC doses of 200 mg/kg, WFCC, and EAFCC at 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively significantly delayed the onset of diarrhea, while WFCC and EAFCC at 100 mg/kg significantly reduced the amount of wet feces output and total feces output. In addition, only WFCC and EAFCC (at 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively) significantly reduced the mean weight of wet feces and total feces. The percentage of maximum diarrhea inhibition was observed at the EAFCC dose of 100 mg/kg. Based on the charcoal meal test results, only EAFCC significantly inhibited the distance traveled by charcoal meal and reduced the peristaltic index at a dose of 100 mg/kg, while the percentage decrease in gastrointestinal motility was 46.87%. Similarly, in the entero-pooling test, WFCC and EAFCC significantly reduced the volume and weight of intestinal contents at a dose of 100 mg/kg, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results confirm that the extract and fractions of &lt;em&gt;C. costata&lt;/em&gt; have antidiarrheal activity. Therefore, this study provides scientific support for the traditional use of &lt;em&gt;C. costata&lt;/em&gt; in treating diarrhea.&lt;/p&gt;
