Shital Giramkar, Manasi Deshpande, Supriya Bhalerao.


Abstract
Obesity is a metabolic condition observed due to multiple causes. The current treatment modalities necessitate the need of safe and effective pharmacotherapy. Ayurvedic texts have recommended various anti-obesity drugs and formulations for obesity, of which Triphala is a top cited formulation. In the present study, documentation of Triphala utilization by Ayurvedic physicians was carried out.
A survey was carried out in 86 Ayurvedic physicians from Pune city. They were asked for frequency of Triphala usage, its dose, dosage form, beneficial and adverse effects using a pre-designed questionnaire. Of 86 respondents, data from only 70 physicians was analyzable.
Triphala was used by 66 physicians for obesity. The commonly used form was churna in a dose of 3-7 gm. Ayurvedic signs and symptoms formed major criteria for dose selection followed by conventional anthropometry.
Our study revealed that Ayurvedic physicians commonly prescribe Triphala to their obese patients owing to its efficacy and safety.

Key words: Adverse effects; Ayurpharmacoepidemiology; Safety; Tolerability
