International Journal of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology. 2020 Apr; 9(4): 528-5322319-20032279-0780http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/200592Background: Diabetic foot ulcers are the most universal cause of non-traumatic amputations of the foot in developing countries. One of the treatment modalities is to improve the peripheral blood supply to the area of ulcer. To this purpose the study was done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral Arborium plus (herbal liquid formulation) in the wound closure of diabetic foot patients.Methods: 50 patients were randomly assigned to either of the groups (each group 25 patients) to receive either the test drug (Arborium plus) at tertiary care teaching hospital, it was an open label prospective and interventional parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Arborium plus in diabetic foot syndrome. The study participants were randomized into control and intervention groups. Base line measurements of vascular flow was ankle- brachial pressure index (ABPI) and wound size measurement.Results: The baseline characteristics of the patients age in years test and control group 68�.3 and 67�.4 respectively. Male/female in both groups was 21/4 and 22/3 respectively. Duration of diabetes in years 8.65�3 and 8.5�6 respectively. BMI was 25.11�15 and 24.75�85, duration of smoking (years) 17.3�5 and 19.5�.5 respectively in both groups. Among the test group who received the proprietary formulation of Arborium plus, there was a significant reduction in the wound size.Conclusions: Wound healing and ABPI improvements were observed with usage of Arborium plus suggest an improvement in peripheral vascular flow in diabetic foot subjects.Oral Arborium plusDiabetic foot ulcerType-2 diabetesHerbal formulationJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Pharmacology, Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaDepartment of General Surgery, Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaSri Padmavathi Medical College for Women, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaDepartment of Panchakarma, SV Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India
