Comparative study between Asokarista and Pradarantak Lauha in the treatment of Asrigdara

Abstract

Asrigdara is a disease of excessive and prolonged blood loss per vagina during menstrual and inter menstrual period. In modern era, Asrigdara is similar just like a Menorrhagia. In my comparative study I had chosen to evaluate the role of both drugs that was “Asokarista” and “Pradarantak Lauha”which was the best in the treatment of Asrigdara. I had taken sixty (60) patients which were divided into two equal group’s i.e., Group-A and Group- B with clinical features of excessive menstrual bleeding in amount, long duration of menstrual bleeding in day, bodyache, pain in the uterus. Gr-A was treated with Asokarista for 3 menstrual cycles and Gr-B was treated with Pradarantak Lauha for 3 menstrual cycles. This comparative study was conducted to evaluation of efficacy of the drugs in both groups. This study was a prospective, comparative and observative. This study observes good reduction in mean scores of clinical feature and overall compliance to the treatment was good in the both groups and p value of < 0.001 was considered highly significant.
