Pharyngitis or sore thtableoat is an infl ammation of the oropharynx, which is one of the most common complaints seen by emergency physicians. The aim of this study was to extract the Salvia offi cinalis leaves, and to formulate the lozenge tablets in order to investigate a profi table dosage form. Methods: Lozenge tablets were prepared using wet granulation. The tablets also were evaluated for the physicochemical properties such as hardness, friability, weigh uniformity, thickness and disintegration time. Results:The selected formulation tablets containing 2.5% (w/w) gelatin as a binder and 0.1 ml of Salvia offi cinalis extract showed their physicochemical properties in the acceptable limits. Furthermore, palatability and the taste of the tablets were found desirable after testing by human volunteers. Salvia offi cinalis lozenge tablets were studied under accelerated stability conditions, and based on the stability test results it is suggested to package the tablets as single unit dosage form to drug content constancy. Conclusion: The results clearly indicate that the prepared lozenge tablets can be a good alternative for traditional forms of sage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
