Abstract

There is a huge treasure of Compound drugs described in various pharmacopoeias that have developed as a result of painstaking and cumulative efforts of elite scholars of Unani medicine. However, there has always been scope for inclusion of new compound drugs whose safety and efficacy has been proved scientifically. Majoon Aarad Khurma which is widely used as an effective aphrodisiac is prepared with sugar as base. Therefore the present study is aimed to develop granules of Majoon Aarad Khurma with natural sweetening agent Stevia rebaudiana. Granules are more convenient and comfortable in usage and dispensing. Granules of Majoon Aarad Khurma were evaluated for physico-chemical parameters as recommended in Physicochemical Standards of Unani formulations by CCRUM. The granules of Majoon Aarad Khurma were found to be more stable, convenient and comfortable in usage and dispensing, and also safe, light, efficacious, cost effective and quality controlled.
