The recognizable proof of different substance constituents is identified by HPTLC test. Along with this organoleptic character, physico-chemical parameters, solubility profile, confirmatory specification, particle size determination and heavy metal analysis were additionally done for the prepared medicine.Conclusion: The results obtained can be considered viable for this preparation.
