Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an age old disease described in Ayurveda as ‘Madhumeha’, a Tridosha predominant disease. The disease, if neglected, has far-reaching clinical, economical, and social impacts. Synthetic antihyperglycaemic agents are running in practices blindly. Do they really help diabetics?

Then whynative Ayurvedic herbs provide better alternatives, owing to lesser side-effects and low cost than conventional  antidiabetic  drugs.  World  Health  Organization  has  also substantiateTinospora   cordifolia   (Willd.)   Miers,   commonly   known   as Guduchi, is one of such highly potent herbs used since ancient times by physicians to combat diabetes.

II. CLINICAL SUPPORT ANTIDIBETIC

Until now, extensive pre-clinical studies are reported to rate effectiveness of Tinospora cordifolia (TC)for diabetes; however, sufficient clinical evidence is  lacking.

Oral powders can be mixed with beverage or applesauce immediately before use.

Manufacturing of powder dosage form is economic, hence, poduct cost is quite economic as compared to other dosage forms. Powders offer a lot of flexibility in compounding solids.

X. DISADVANTANGES OF POWDER

Powders are not the dosage form of choice for drugs with unpleasant taste. This is because masking of unpleasant tastes may be a problem with this type of preparation. Drugs that deteriorate rapidly with exposure to atmosphere or acidic pH should not be dispensed as powders.
