Arthritis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory disorders that affects joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of mobility. Conventional therapy includes the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids, which often produce gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects. Hence, there is an increasing demand for safe and effective herbal alternatives. The present research work focuses on the formulation and evaluation of herbal tablets containing selected medicinal plants with proven anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory activities. The selected herbs were extracted, standardized, and formulated into tablets using appropriate excipients and evaluated for various physical and chemical parameters such as hardness, friability, weight variation, disintegration, and drug content uniformity. The optimized formulation was also subjected to stability and pharmacological studies. The findings suggest that herbal formulations can serve as a promising alternative for arthritis management, combining efficacy with safety.
