| Abstract: | The present study
was carried out in the Clinical Research Unit of Majeedia Hospital, Jamia
Hamdard, New Delhi during 1996-1998. The aim and objective of the study was to
develop safe and effective treatment of urticaria from herbal sources. In this
double blind study, patients of chronic urticaria were randomly allocated to
receive either Pitkirya, a poly
herbal formulation or placebo, two capsules daily for 4 weeks. Pitkirya treatment significantly reduced
all the symptoms of chronic urticaria without producing any serious side
effects. Statistically significant difference was found between the results of Pitkirya and placebo, Pitkirya was found to be much superior
over the placebo. Clinical and laboratory parameters showed the efficacy and
safety of Pitkirya, which was found
to be highly effective and safe drug for the treatment of urticaria. |
