The aim of the present study was to find out efficacy of Chhinnodbhavadi Ghanavati in comparison to modern PPI. In present study total 40 patients were taken, divided into 2 equal groups. In group-I: 20 patients were treated with oral administration of trial drug that is Chhinnodbhavadi ghanavati 500mg 2 tab twice a day for 45 days and in group-II: 20 patients were treated with control drug that is Pantaprazole 40mg 1 tab once a day orally for 45 days. After conducting clinical trial on 40 patients, observation and results were obtained. Statistical analysis shows that both trail and control drug were significantly effective to reduce the cardinal symptoms.
