Abstract: Lozenges are a type of solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, offering localized therapeutic effects. Cough is a prevalent symptom associated with various respiratory illnesses, often affecting an individual’s daily comfort and quality of life. Many over-the-counter cough remedies contain synthetic ingredients, which may lead to undesirable side effects. In contrast, herbal-based lozenges present a safer and more natural alternative, utilizing plant- derived substances known for their medicinal properties. While both herbal and allopathic treatments exist, they often fall short in addressing all symptoms through a single formulation. The goal of this herbal lozenge formulation is to incorporate widely used traditional medicinal herbs and assess their effectiveness in alleviating cough symptoms.
