Synergistic effects, Polyherbal, Chewable tablet, Plant-derived, ConventionalAbstract
Due to their ability to produce synergistic effects and take a holistic approach to health and wellness, polyherbal formulations have attracted a lot of interest lately. Chewable tablets have distinguished themselves among the available dosage forms as a practical and patient-friendly alternative, especially for people who have trouble swallowing conventional solid oral dose forms. An overview of the development, formulation, therapeutic uses, and difficulties relating to polyherbal chewable tablets are intended by this review article. Chewable polyherbal formulations mix many plant-derived substances, each with distinct therapeutic qualities, to produce a concoction that targets particular health issues. The review article explains the therapeutic uses of polyherbal chewable tablets in a number of medical specialties, including both contemporary herbal therapy and conventional systems like Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
