Abstract

Cough management remains a critical concern in respiratory tract infections as it severely impacts quality of life. The classical Ayurvedic formulation Shatyadi Kashaya has been traditionally used to manage Pittaja Kasa, which is a subtype of cough as described in Ayurveda. Syrup is the most commonly used dosage form to cure cough and cold. Present study focuses on Shatyadi syrup, a modern adaptation of the classical Ayurvedic decoction. The method of formulation of shatyadi syrup at lab scale is discussed in the present studies. Shatyadi syrup was formulated and analyzed for organoleptic, physicochemical, microbial, and phytochemical parameters, along with HPTLC fingerprinting. The findings established the formulation’s compliance with quality standards, ensuring safety and efficacy. Overall, studies highlight the potential of integrating traditional Ayurvedic formulations into modern healthcare through standardization and quality control.
