Herbal candy is an innovative solid oral dosage form designed for localized soothing relief in the oral cavity and throat. Three formulations (F1, F2, F3) were prepared using fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and lemon (Citrus limon) in a sucrose base by the heating and molding method with varying herbal concentrations. All formulations were evaluated for organoleptic properties, weight variation, hardness, dissolution time, surface pH, moisture content, ash value, melting point, and stability over four weeks. Formulation F2 demonstrated the optimum profile: smooth texture, green color, aromatic odor, hardness 6.8 kg/cm², dissolution time 13 min, surface pH 4.5, weight 5.4±0.04 g, and complete stability at 25°C and 35°C for four weeks. The study confirms herbal candy as a safe, patient-friendly dosage form for mild throat discomfort, combining traditional herbal knowledge with modern pharmaceutical formulation...

The present study evaluated the antiarthritic activity of the ethanol extract of Tephrosia purpurea (EETP) in experimental animal models. Acute oral toxicity studies revealed that EETP is safe up to 2000 mg/kg, with no mortality or observable toxic effects. Antiarthritic activity was assessed using parameters such as body weight, paw volume, mechanical withdrawal threshold, and thermal withdrawal latency in arthritic rats. EETP treatment showed dose-dependent improvement across all parameters. At 400 mg/kg, EETP significantly restored body weight, reduced paw edema, and improved both mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, comparable to the standard drug Diclofenac. The findings suggest that EETP possesses significant anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive properties, supporting its potential as a therapeutic agent in the management of...
