Abstract

Today, herbal medicine is a medical discipline that uses plants to treat and relieve various illnesses, particularly respiratory tract ailments. It is becoming an increasingly popular option in the healthcare sector. This thesis focuses on the formulation of an antitussive syrup based on ivy (Hedera helix). This plant is recognized for its antitussive properties. Currently, ivy is widely used in various herbal preparations to treat mild respiratory disorders, particularly coughs. The aim of this work is to formulate a stable and standard-compliant dosage form (liquid) from Hedra helix extract and suitable excipients. Quality controls were carried out to examine the physicochemical properties (pH, viscosity, density, turbidity), ingredient compatibility, and stability of the finished product. The results show that the product is stable and well tolerated and complies with pharmaceutical standards. This work highlights the importance of herbal medicine
