ABSTRACT

Chocolate is the most loved food of children, whereas medicine is a hated substance. So, the objective of the present study was to formulate the chocolate that contains the drug, i.e., medicated chocolate, to prevent the disease. Clove oil is the volatile oil drug which has several medicinal properties; anthelmintic activity is one of them. Also pumpkin seed and ginger juice are used to prepare medicated chocolate. Thus, we have to formulate the polyherbal medicated chocolate with pumpkin seed, clove oil, and ginger juice, which gives anthelmintic activity. Further, prepared medicated chocolate is evaluated for general appearance, dimension, weight variation, blooming test, physical stability, moisture content determination, etc. Oral drug delivery is one of the most common routes of drug administration due to its patient compliance and ease of usage. But this route is an immense challenge for the drug delivery to the paediatric patients. Our present research work is the solution to this problem. The present research work focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a medicated polyherbal chocolate, one of the most commonly used medicines in paediatrics for treating intestinal worms and related issues. Keywords: Anthelmintic, Herbal Chocolate, Helminths, Parasitic worms, Natural remedies etc.
