In ancient Ayurvedic classics, many formulations are there like herbal, mineral and herbomineral in origin.

In Charak Samhita, Uttarsthana, Aacharya Charak mentioned Pachak Yoga in the treatment of Vishamjwara. “Medopachak yoga” which is useful in the Treatment of Medogatjwar. Many of the Ayurvedic paractitioners prescribe Medopachak yoga in various dosage forms like kashaya (Decoction), Churna (Powder) as per their convenience. Dosage form for administration plays an important role in the reaction and delivery of particular drug on a specific system. Tablets are easy to prepare, packing, transportation and administration to patients. Hence tablet form is the most accepted dosage form amongst all. In this study, formulation of “Medopachak Yoga” is transformed to the tablet form by using modern equipments and analytical techniques. An effort is made to validate the pharmaceutical and analytical procedures to maintain the quality of product and to avoid batch to batch variation. Pharmacopeial standards are set for this Ayurvedic formulation in tablet form. All the 3 samples were prepared by this method show identical characteristics and analytical parameters do not show much significant difference. These set parameters may be used for the further pharmaceutical preparations.
