Abstract

This study outlines the preparation of a digitalis suspension for congestive heart failure (CHF) management. The method involves extracting digitalis glycosides from Digitalis purpurea leaves, followed by meticulous processing to achieve a stable suspension. The formulation's efficacy in addressing CHF symptoms is assessed, providing insights into its potential therapeutic value. This research contributes to the exploration of alternative formulations for digitalis administration in congestive heart failure patients. Digitalis, commonly derived from the foxglove plant, is a medication used to treat congestive heart failure. It helps strengthen the heart's contractions, improve circulation, and alleviate symptoms. However, it should be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional due to its narrow therapeutic range and potential for toxicity. Regular check-ups are essential to ensure the medication is effective and safe for the individual.

Keywords
