ABSTRACT
A polyherbal formulation was designed for alcohol use disorders and an
experimental validation of the same was carried out for its hepatoprotective activity
against ethanol and paracetamol induced liver damage in swiss albino rats. The rats were
divided into four groups of ten animals each with two study groups, one toxic control
group and one normal control group. The polyherbal formulation was coded as Sumukti
and was prepared in syrup form by combination of 11 drugs. The study groups were fed
with Sumukti syrup for 21 days and 31 days respectively along with hepaotoxic drugs like
ethanol and paracetamol. Biochemical parameters like Liver function test
Histopathological studies of liver cells were carried out. Results were suggestive of
hepatoprotective activity of study formulation.
