Background and objectives: The main objective of this current research work is to formulate and evaluate an anti – diabetic, herbal pastilles. Pastilles, derived from the Latin word pastilles which was from panis, meaning loaf. They are pill shaped lump of condensed herbs which was ignited to release its medicinal properties. They are formulated by discharging a thick viscous liquid into a solid mold and allow it to solidify. The drug release takes place by chewing them. The herbs, Gymnema sylvestre powder and Costus speciosus used in this formulation have shown proven activity in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods: Pastilles are known for its convenient, palatable solid dosage administration. This abstract provides an overview of formulation and evaluation of pastilles containing antidiabetic herbs such as Gymnema sylvestre, Costus speciosus. The pastilles are formulated using 0.5g and 1g of Gymnema sylvestre and Costs speciosus with agar as thickening agent. Honey and peppermint oil were added as sweetening and flavoring agent. Results and Discussion: Results proved that with the increase in the quantity of agar and acacia gradually, pastilles satisfy all the evaluations successfully. Among the five formulations, formulation two and five showed successful in all aspects.
