Abstract

Standardization of homoeopathic finished products is a need of hour, especially when new regulations and G.M.P. standards are being implemented. Mother tincture is a basic substance from which higher potencies are prepared in Homoeopathy. Standardization of higher potencies is difficult as quantity of original drug is very difficult to trace, but at tincture level it is possible. One such criteria for standardization is drug strength. Purpose of this work is to verify the actual drug strength of finished product ( mother tincture), and to compare with postulated drug strength as per pharmacopeia.
