Abstract


Analytical study used for the standard for the quality drug and helps to describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug. The analytical study was carried out with a view to know the particular chemical configuration of the raw and final product and to point out the physico-chemical changes and effect of different Samaskaras (Shodhana, Marana etc.,) during the pharmaceutical processing. Evaluation on classical analytical parameters. Organoleptic changes are observed and noted in each step during the preparation of Pippalyadya Loha. Qualitative analyses like LOD, Ash value, Specific gravity, Solubility test are carried for Pippalyadya Loha. Quantitative analysis of Grahya Loha, is carried before and after shodhana to rule out percentage of Iron, Manganese, Chromium, Carbon, Silicon, Nickel, Phosphorous, Sulphur, Molybdenum, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Sodium etc.
