Upper respiratory tract infection is a frequently occurring condition marked by nasal obstruction, coughing, throat irritation and breathing difficulty that increased by allergies or infections. Although Conventional medications can provide symptomatic relief, but prolonged use may cause serious side effects. This study explores the extraction, formulation and evaluation of herbal lozenges as a natural and safer alternative for treating congestion. Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and eucalyptus oil (Eucalyptus globulus) are the medicinal plants, which were selected based on their well-documented anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and expectorant activities. The plant materials contain bioactive constituents like alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and glycosides. Soft lozenges were using formulated using jaggery as a base through the melting and molding technique. The prepared lozenges were evaluated for various parameters such as organoleptic properties, hardness, thickness, weight variation, moisture content, and friability and disintegration time. Results demonstrated satisfactory of physical characteristics, stability, and uniformity along with good mechanical strength and acceptable disintegration behavior. Thus, the developed polyherbal lozenges represents a safe, effective, and patient-friendly dosage form for relieving upper respiratory congestion with minimal side effects.
