Wet granulation technique with a starch(8.5%w/w) slurry were used for granule preparation. The evaluation parameters such as organoleptic evaluation, powder microscopic analysis of the poly-herbal crude drugs material and physical property analysis such as bulk density, tapped density; compressibility index and angle of repose for the formulated capsules were done. Granules in a “light brown” colour habing bitter taste packed in “00” size yellow capsules. Each poly- herbal capsule was having 500mg. The formulated poly-herbal capsule shows 70.71% CDR in 30min.
