Abstract

Abstract Background Traditional medicine being ethnic is preferred worldwide even in these modern days. Obesity is a lifestyle disorder. Many chemically synthesized medicines are available. Poly-herbal medicines can be one of the safest alternatives with less side effects in treating obese patients. Results The in vitro anti-lipase activity was carried out for a different concentration. The formulation of the poly-herbal tablets was designed using the Design Expert software. The pre-compression and post-compression studies show that the formulation F6 showed better results of all the formulations designed. Stability study results showed that the poly-herbal tablets were stable throughout the studies.
