Abstract	Cough is one of the most common respiratory problems associated with throat irritation, cold, bronchitis, allergies, and respiratory tract infections. Synthetic cough medications may produce side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and gastrointestinal disturbances after prolonged use. Therefore, herbal formulations are gaining importance due to their natural origin, safety, effectiveness, and better patient compliance. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a Parijatak-based herbal cough tablet intended for symptomatic relief from cough and throat irritation. Parijatak leaves are traditionally used in Ayurveda for the treatment of cough , fever, inflammation, cold, and respiratory disorders because of their expectorant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. In this formulation, Parijatak leaf powder was selected as the primary active ingredient and combined with other herbal excipients to enhance therapeutic activity and tablet stability. The herbal ingredients were cleaned, shade dried, pulverized, and passed through suitable sieve sizes before formulation. The tablets were prepared by the direct compression method using Parijatak leaf powder along with suitable excipients such as binder, diluent, lubricant, and sweetening agents to improve tablet hardness, stability, and palatability. The prepared tablets were evaluated for various pre-compression and post-compression parameters including angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s index, Hausner ratio, weight variation, hardness, friability, thickness, disintegration time, and drug content uniformity. The tablets possessed adequate hardness, low friability, uniform weight distribution, and appropriate disintegration time, indicating good mechanical strength and stability. The study concludes that Parijatak-based herbal cough tablets can be successfully formulated using suitable pharmaceutical excipients and may serve as an effective, economical, and safer alternative to synthetic cough remedies. The formulation has promising therapeutic potential for the management of cough and throat irritation and can be further evaluated through advanced pharmacological and clinical studies for commercial herbal product development .
