ABSTRACT
Ayurveda is an emerging field in healthcare. Ayurveda uses herbomineral pharmacological management along with its other non-pharmacological management. With growing demand for Ayurveda in various lifestyle disorders and other conditions, there is also a necessity for development of novel formulations. Fingerprinting of these formulations ensures identification and quantification of marker compounds. This article proposes analysis of one such novel formulation Gokshuradi Dispersible Tablet including phytochemical analysis of the drug. Various analytical methods and tools were used for organoleptic, physiochemical and HPTLC fingerprinting of this durg. This study concluded that Gokshuradi Dispersible tablet shows bioactive markers to support the theory of its therapeutic benefits. It also demonstrates a unique chromatographic marking which can be used in future to ensure same chemical composition in every batch of drug.
