Overview

Randomized trial developed and evaluated a polyherbal effervescent tablet for digestive support, indicating improved patient compliance.

Key Points

This study aimed to formulate and evaluate polyherbal effervescent tablets using various medicinal herbs for digestive support.
Prepared tablets through direct compression using standardized herbal powders.
Developed seven formulations (F1–F7) with varying concentrations of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate.
Evaluated pre-compression and post-compression parameters for each formulation.
Formulation F3 showed optimal pharmaceutical characteristics with an angle of repose of 27.5° and a Carr's index of 17.2%.
Achieved a hardness of 3.2 kg/cm² and a friability of 0.42%, demonstrating good mechanical strength.
Exhibited rapid effervescence time of 2.2 minutes and a pleasant taste, promoting excellent patient acceptability.
