Navratna rasa, an ayurvedic proprietary medicine based on classical formulation has been in use since long for general debility, rickets and calcium deficiency in Ayurvedic practices. The drug was screened for its safety/toxicity studies in acute and chronic models. No mortality and behavioral changes were observed during the course of acute toxicity study. The chronic toxicity study reveals that, the test drug has no serious toxicity potential to most of the important organs in therapeutics doses.

Abstract


Navratna rasa, an ayurvedic proprietary medicine based on classical formulation has been in use since long for general debility, rickets and calcium deficiency in Ayurvedic practices. The drug was screened for its safety/toxicity studies in acute and chronic models. No mortality and behavioral changes were observed during the course of acute toxicity study. The chronic toxicity study reveals that, the test drug has no serious toxicity potential to most of the important organs in therapeutics doses.
