Abstract

The liquid pharmaceuticals are easy to administer to those individuals who have difficulty in swallowing solid dosage forms. The seeds, leaves and peels are used in tribal medicine for various applications. In the present study, different samples used in traditional medicine were selected for developing poly herbal syrup. The prepared poly herbal syrup was evaluated immediately after preparation and all the tested parameter along with turbidity/homogeneity were compared with the changes in accelerated stability testing. The final syrup found to have pH 4.5 and specific gravity 1.1610 g/ml. The results of stability study of the final syrup reveal that no changes were noticed in all the tested physicochemical parameter as well as turbidity/homogeneity during 24 hr, 48 hr and 72 hr. Syrup will help in providing the antioxidant required on daily basis along with reducing blood glucose level and helping in preventing cancer growth, along with other benefits of the individual components that were used to make the extract. Yet the long term effect of the products and their toxicity along with pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic activities needs to be assessed.
