ABSTRACT

Introduction: Vati kalpana (tablet) is one of the most commonly used dosage form because of its easy administration, dosing, palatability and transportation. Jambira lavana vati is a preparation mentioned for the treatment of loss of appetite and indigestion. The uniqueness of this vati is that it does not follow the usual method of preparation and hence standardization becomes essential to maintain quality and efficacy. In this study an attempt has been made to prepare and analyse jambira lavana vati to set the preliminary standards for the same. Materials and Methods: Preparation of jambira lavana vati was done as per reference of Siddha yoga sangraha. Three batches were prepared and analysed for quality control parameters of tablet. Results: 171.6gm of drugs were taken for each batch and the average yield was 49.67gm. The results of organoleptic characters, physical characters and physicochemical characters were noted. Conclusion: The pharmaceutical and analytical results can be used as reference standard for quality assurance.
