INVITRO ANTIMICROBIAL STUDY OF VIDANGADI VATI Authors: Vasava N , CHAVDA B AND SURWASE D
ABSTRACT
Introduction
Vidangadi yoga is a classical formulation described in the Yogratnakar Samhita. It is used to treat kustha
and dadru as an internal medication. Despite many available yogas, the need for a broad-spectrum and
innocuous dressing material is always obligatory.
Aim
To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Vidangadi yoga against common microbial flora present over
the granulation tissue.
Materials and Methods
The drug was prepared according to the standard protocol and subjected to physiochemical and
microbiological analyses to standardize the formulation. An in vitro antimicrobial study was conducted
to evaluate the drug's activity against fungi.
Results
The prepared drug met the prescribed physiochemical and microbiological parameters as mentioned in
the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. It was found that a higher concentration (100 mg/mL) of
Vidangadi yoga is effective against Blastomyces dermatitidis, Aspergillus terreus, Trichophyton
violaceum.
Conclusion
Vidangadi yoga is safe and effective in preventing infection over the granulation surface. The drug's
standardization with physiochemical analysis and microbial testing suggests that the classical method
of yoga preparation is up to the mark. Further clinical studies are recommended to evaluate the effect
of yoga in the chronicity of fungal infection.
