The Institutional Animal Ethics Committee approved the study (IAEC). A single oral dose of &lt;em&gt;Salvia officinalis&lt;/em&gt; hydroalcoholic root extract (800, 1600, and 3200 mg/kg) was administered, and the subjects were monitored for 14 days. Animals were sacrificed on the fifteenth day, and body weight, haematological, and serum hepatic biochemical parameters were assessed and compared to the standard group. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt;Groups treated with &lt;em&gt;Salvia officinalis&lt;/em&gt; showed no mortality or discernible alterations. The findings show that Wistar rats did not experience appreciable harmful effects from administering hydroalcoholic root extract from the &lt;em&gt;Salvia officinalis&lt;/em&gt; plant. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The extract can be utilized safely for therapeutic use in pharmaceutical formulations.&lt;/p&gt;
