Formulation and Assessment of Polyherbal Candies for Soothing Cough and Sore Throat

Hard cough drops or small candies are intended to be taken orally and melted slowly to relieve sore throats caused by colds, cough and flu. These treats are made with natural ingredients to help relieve coughs. Plant substances and natural medicines are currently attracting great interest in their flexible application, as medicinal plants are the richest source of bioactive substances used in traditional and modern medicines. This article is based on the formulation of medicated tri-herbal candy containing natural ingredients and its evaluations such as physicochemical properties, weight uniformity, stability test, disintegration test, and identification test. All three formulations passed the tests according to all parameters, but formulation number 2 is particularly acceptable due to its sweetness.
