Abstract

Brihatyadi kwatha is one of the fomulations indicated in urinary tract disorders. Its preparation involves drugs of laghupanchamula gana. But these Kashaya preparations have a shorter shelf life which is a major setback. Therefore there was necessity to develop formulations with more shelf life and maximum therapeutic efficacy. So a modified dosage form was planned using same drugs of Brihatyadi kwatha which was named Bhavita Brihatyadi Churna. It was prepared by giving 21 bhavanas of Brihatyadi kwatha to the same powdered drugs. The study revealed analytical parameters such as Loss on drying, Total Ash, Acid Insoluble Ash, Water soluble Ash, Alcohol soluble extractive value, Water soluble extractive value along with its chromatographic fingerprint. This helps to standardize a new formulation which can be taken up for further studies.

Keywords: Bhavita Brihatyadi Churna, Bhavana, Pharmaceutico-analytical study.
