Abstract

Background: Traditional systems of medicine are facing many problems, one of them is substitution. Very often, two similar looking drugs or entirely different drugs are sold in place of one another. Asrol is a commonly used drug, but its scare availability and similarity with other drugs increases the likelihood of substitution in commercially available samples. Objectives: On account of its therapeutic enormity and a scare drug, this study was designed to evaluate three samples of Asrol on pharmacognostic parameters to assess the authenticity of market samples. Materials and Methods: The study consisted macroscopic, physicochemical, phytochemical and analytical tests. Results: The findings revealed similarity in the samples. Conclusion: Due to the similarity in the three samples in respect to most parameters, it may be concluded that the market samples of the drug are genuine.
