In vitro Stability Testing of Syrup Dosage Form For Hepatitis

The present study was to develop a syrup dosage form for Hepatitis. The newer herbal drugs for Hepatitis were formulated in the form of syrup dosage form. The need of this study was to overcome the taste of the drug and to improve the therapeutic efficacy of the existing herbal drugs. For this formulation two crude drugs were used those are Aegle marmelos, Vitex negundo linn. In these formulation two steps involved were 1) Preparation of Benzene Extract 2) Preparation of Simple Syrup. The materials used are Sucrose, Methyl Paraben, Sodium benzoate, Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose. This formulation was more stable at the temperature of 4°C & room temperature. This study showed that the stability of the formulation is equivalent to other existing herbal drugs available for Hepatitis. Hence, we found that there is a lot of scope for in vivo studies.
