Title: Tablet Formulation of American Ginseng
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Antoine Al-Achi , Pharmaceutical Sciences

This project focuses on formulating directly compressible tablets of American Ginseng. It is widely used as dietary supplement, for anti-diabetic effect, memory boosting and anticancer agent. Ginsenosides are the active ingredient obtained from ginseng by grinding ginseng roots and shaving followed by extraction process. Fractional Factorial design will be employed to get the optimized formulation. Tablet evaluation tests will be the performed on the optimized formulation to ensure that, the tablets comply the USP criteria. The study hypothesizes that the optimized tablet formulation will meet the specifications for tablet breaking force and the disintegration time in accordance to USP specifications.
