| Abstract: | Natural Product Radiance - Jan. 2005The ion exchange chromatography
was conducted on Unani Syrup preparation of iron (Sharbat-e-faulad),
manufactured by the three different pharmaceutical companies and compared with
the standard Fesovit spansules. The ion exchanger was antimony (v)
arsenosilicate, which is of crystalline nature and found to be highly selective
for iron. The results indicate that the syrup manufactured by Hamdard (Wakf)
Laboratories, Delhi (SFH) contains 96.11 + 3.5 mg/10 ml. The
sample of Rex (U&A) Remedies (Pvt) Ltd., Delhi (SFR) contains 78.4 +
1.5 mg/10 ml and Dwakhana Tibbia College, Aligarh (SFD) contains 30.37 +
1.8 mg/10 ml iron. The Fesovit spansules (FS) manufactured by Glaxo-Smith
Kline Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Bangalore contains 47.7 + 0.9
mg per spansule. SFH comprises highest content of iron and most suitable for
severe iron deficiency anaemia. SFR is the standard sample and negligible
discrepancy noted in the content of iron claimed by manufacturer, whereas in SFD
25.308% less iron was determined in comparison to claimed amount of iron.
Standard operational procedure (SOP) is required to be implemented for standard
preparations of traditional medicines. |
