In the present study, the efficacy of a Unani formulation in chronic bronchitis was reported and provided the scientific basis on the clinical parameter. In this study, 40 patients were randomly selected into two groups. The first group (n=20) was of test study and another group (n=20) for placebo study. Both placebo and test groups were received 3 grams of sample in powder form twice daily for four weeks by the oral route. The severity of a cough, sputum, breathlessness, wheezing, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and chest X-ray at the beginning and the end of treatment were assessed. The test drug showed a significant improvement as compared to placebo.
