Abstract :

The creation and assessment of a herbal syrup utilizing extracts from medicinal plants recognized for their therapeutic potential in the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) is the main goal of this study. Microbial infections are frequently the source of UTIs, which are characterized by symptoms like burning, frequent urine, and inflammation. There is a need for safer and more potent herbal alternatives because traditional antibiotic treatments may cause adverse effects and antimicrobial resistance Due to their established antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory qualities, garlic (Allium sativum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) were chosen for this investigation. To improve palatability and stability, the herbal syrup was made with appropriate excipients such sucrose, glycerine, and preservatives. Several physicochemical measures, including as appearance, pH, viscosity, clarity, and taste, were used to assess the generated formulations. The formulation’s pH was determined to be within an acceptable range, suggesting that it is suitable for oral administration. Garlic and turmeric work together to reduce inflammation, prevent microbial growth, and improve urinary tract health in general. When compared to other batches, the improved formulation demonstrated superior stability and organoleptic qualities.
Keywords: UTI, herbal syrup, turmeric, garlic, antibacterial, polyherbal
