Abstract :
We are moving away from nature as our
lifecycle becomes more technologically savvy. Herbs are
natural items, thus they have no negative side effects and
are also relatively safe, environmentally friendly, and
locally accessible. In many of the pathological conditions
like mouth ulcers, throat infection, cough etc, it needs to
localize the medicament in the oral cavity region.
Considering these facts present study aims to formulate
and evaluate herbal lollipop using Sterculia Lychnophora
seed extract for anti-inflammatory activity. The
advantages of the current study effort include higher
oral dosage form bioavailability and retention time, as
well as a decrease in stomach discomfort due to first pass
metabolism. The conventional dosage forms like tablets
and capsules, syrups etc are inconvenient for paediatric
patients because of difficult to swallow tablets and
capsules or unpleasant taste of drug. As a result demand
for developing new technologies has been increasing day
by day. In the present investigation herbal lollipop
containing Sterculia Lychnophora seed extract were
prepared by heating and congealing technique. For drug
analysis, many instrumental techniques such as UV,
FTIR, and others were used. The generated lollipop
formulations were tested for thickness, weight variation,
friability, hardness, stability studies, and anti-
inflammatory efficacy.
