DEVELOPMENT & EVALUATION OF HERBAL SYRUP FROM COUROUPITA GUIANENSIS USED AS EXPECTORANT
Journal Title: Asian J of Pharm Sci & Tech - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT The oral use of liquid pharmaceuticals has generally been justified on the basis of ease of administration to those individuals who have difficulty in swallowing solid dosage forms. Ayurvedic formulations are preferentially administered by oral route. The fresh leaves juice of Couroupita guianensis is used by some local Ayurvedic practitioner as strong expectorant in chronic, acute cough and in bronchitis. In the present study the locally used herbal juice was selected for developing herbal syrup. The prepared 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. Key words: : Herbal formulation, Liquid dosage form, Syrup, Physicochemical Parameters.
