Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Dysmenorrhea, characterized by painful menstrual cramps, significantly impacts women's daily activities. Conventional treatments like NSAIDs offer relief but pose risks with long-term use. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a polyherbal syrup containing Oroxylum indicum bark extract, known for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and spasmolytic properties, as a natural remedy for dysmenorrhea. The formulation was assessed for physicochemical parameters and underwent in vitro and in vivo evaluations. Results showed significant pain-relieving, spasmolytic, and anti-inflammatory effects, along with favorable stability and high sensory acceptability. The findings support the syrup’s potential as a safe and effective natural alternative for dysmenorrhea management.
