Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and affects a significant portion of the global population. Synthetic anti-hypertensive drugs, though effective, often produce undesirable side effects and are costly in the long term. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal anti-hypertensive tablet using standardized extracts of Rauwolfia serpentina, Terminalia arjuna, and Allium sativum—all known for their blood pressure-lowering effects. The herbal extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening, followed by formulation into tablets using direct compression method. The formulated tablets were evaluated for pre-compression and post-compression parameters including hardness, friability, disintegration time, drug content uniformity, and in vitro dissolution. All evaluation parameters complied with pharmacopeial limits. Stability studies were also conducted under accelerated conditions. The results suggest that the formulated herbal tablets offer a promising, natural, and cost-effective alternative to conventional anti-hypertensive therapies.
