A detail physicochemical investigation of a polyherbal formulation - Cutisora tablet

Abstract

In order to have a good coordination between quality of raw materials, in process materials and the final prod- ucts, it is essential to have reliable, specific and sensitive quality control methods. The quality of herbal drugs is the sum of all factors, which contribute directly or indirectly to the safety, efficacy and acceptability of the prod- uct. Standardization of drugs means confirmation of its identity and determination of its quality and purity. Cutiso- ra tablet, a polyherbal formulation is used for the treatment of psoriasis. Raw materials as well as finished product were standardized using standard parameters such as organoleptic parameters, physico-chemical parameters, Comparative High Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic study (HPTLC), Microbial and Heavy metal analysis. The investigation data revealed the status of standardization at the level of raw materials and finished product. The obtained results were used to establish overall quality of the final product.
