Parwez Alam*, Dr. Jyoti Gupta and Seema Firdouse
ABSTRACT
The aim of present study was to develop a polyherbal solid dosage
formulation using Amla Withania and Tulsi extract in different ratio.
Polyherbal formulation was developed by using well documented
medicinal plants like Amla fruit, Withania root and Tulsi aerial part.
The extracts were prepared by using solvents like 60% ethanol for
Amla fruit, 50% ethanol for Withania root and pure ethanol for Tulsi
aerial part. After extraction granules were prepared with help of
extracts and excipients by using wet granulation technique and
granules were evaluated by different methods i.e. Physical appearance
of granules, Flow property, Fines, Loss on drying, Bulk density, Tap
density, Hausner ratio, Carr's index and Angle of repose. Finally
polyherbal tablet was formulated and evaluated by using different
methods like Physical appearance of tablets, Thickness of tablets, Weight variation,
Hardness, Friability and disintegration.
Keywords: Amla fruits, Withania roots, Tulsi aerial parts, Extract, Formulation, Evaluation.
