Formulation And Evaluation of Giloy Lozenges for Antidiabetic Activity

This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) lozenges for antidiabetic activity. Leveraging the known hypoglycemic, antioxidant, and insulin-modulating properties of Giloy, lozenges were developed using sorbitol, acacia gum, citric acid, and magnesium stearate. Three formulations were assessed for physicochemical parameters like hardness, friability, disintegration, and dissolution. The optimized formulation demonstrated satisfactory release and stability, indicating the potential of Giloy lozenges as an effective and patient-friendly herbal supplement for managing type 2 diabetes.
