Screening Of Polyherbal Lozenges Against Sore Throat

Title : Screening Of Polyherbal Lozenges Against Sore Throat

Abstract:

 In this study, four distinct plants were used to make polyherbal lozenges: Saussurealappa, Glycyrrhiza glabra linn, Terminalia chebula, and Zingiber officinalis  (F1, F2, and F3 & F4 respectively) for the screening of antibacterial activity against sore throat . The formulated polyherbal lozenges were evaluated for the various parameters such as weight variation, hardness, friability, thickness, disintegration time, stability study and the results for the same are us under the acceptance criteria. stability study was performed and the results for the same are us under the acceptance criteria. All the formulated formulations (F1, F2, F3, and F4) were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against the staphylococcus aureus strain. And the result reveals that14mm, 15mm, 17mm, and 15mm respectively. Thus from the study it was concluded that F3 formulation was the best formulation because it has more flavonoid and phenolic content. The stability study also reveals that the optimized formulation showed minimum deviation. Hence the polyherbal lozenges can show effecting activity against cold and flu. Further more studies are required to fully standardize combination for maximum antibacterial activity without comprising the other desirable properties.All the formulated formulations (F1, F2, F3, and F4) were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against the staphylococcus aureus strain
