Abstract

Ayurvedic medicine, rooted in centuries-old traditional knowledge, faces unique challenges in modern healthcare, particularly in the dispensing of its formulations. The complexity of drug preparation, varying storage requirements, lack of standardization, and individualized treatment protocols all contribute to significant barriers in integrating Ayurveda into mainstream health systems. This review examines the key challenges in Ayurvedic drug dispensing, focusing on quality control, formulation stability, patient compliance and the need for standardized protocols. Recommendations for addressing these challenges through innovation, regulatory updates and integration with modern pharmacological practices are also discussed.
