The attempt is made to study the Pharmacognostical, phytochemical and pharmacological activities of gum of the plant. The study was divided into three major parts viz. • Pharmacognostical studies •…

are widely used as first-line abortive therapies for migraine headache patients. The currently available triptans offer clear evidence of improved clinical and economic outcomes compared with previous anti-migraine therapies, such as ergotamine alkaloids. However, the clinical and economic benefits of triptans are ambiguous. Hence, a triptan case study was carried out to introduce a systematic methodology to assist formulary decision makers in evaluating the cost-effectiveness of drugs within…

The plague holds a unique place in history and has a tremendous influence on the development of modern civilizations.

The drug did not become popular until the pill was cut with aspirin and named Percodan in the early 50s. In 1970 Percodan was listed as a Schedule II drug, meaning it was often abused, in…
