STANDARDIZATION STUDY OF POLYHERBAL FORMULATION: ARTHRUM OINTMENT

Abstract

To access the quality of drug the standardization is very critical. As per WHO guidelines, 80% of the peoples have relied on traditional medicine in a rising nation. Most of the conventional system is valuable but a lack of standardization. The parameters studied are physicochemical parameters, heavy metal analysis, aflatoxin content, pesticide residue and microbial analysis. These values will help to obtain the batch-to-batch variation in Arthrum ointment. This is used to treat different types of pain. We calculated and discussed physicochemical parameters, heavy metal analysis, aflatoxin content, pesticide residue and microbial analysis. The scientific method for its quality and safety evaluation is not yet to be documented. Hence in the current work, an attempt has been made to evaluate the quality parameters to be used for its preparation and processing.
