Pharmaceutical Analysis of a Herbo-mineral Formulation-Pippalyadi Agad from Yogaratnakar

Abstract

The development of pharmaceuticals brought a revolution in human health. For the therapeutic efficacy of any drug, it should be authentic, and free from impurities. These pharmaceuticals may develop impurities at various stages of their development, transportation, and storage which makes them risky to be administered thus they must be detected and quantitated. Hence, a detailed pharmaceutical study of the drug is needed, including its Authentication and Standardization. Various medicinal formulations in Ayurveda need to be analysed with modern techniques. Pippalyadi Agad is one of them. Hence, the present study,“Pharmacological analysis of a herbo-mineral formulation- Pippalyadi Agad from Yogaratnakar” was selected. Methodology- The raw drugs were procured from an authentic source. Authentication and Standardization of raw drugs was conducted. The powder of raw drugs was mixed together to make the formulation. Then Physiochemical analysis was done and results were noted. Observation and Results- Organoleptic parameters of the raw drugs and the study drug were according to the standards. The results of Standardization comply with the standards given in API. This work can provide the correct identification and Standardization of the crude drug. These findings will be helpful in establishing the Standardization of Pippalyadi Agad.
