ABSTRACT The present study is on anti-tussive activity of the macerated extract of piper longum churna by comparison to other marketed preparation as well as reference standard Codeine phosphate using the acetic acid induced cough models in guinea pigs. The standard drug codeine phosphate bought about a reduction of bouts of cough from 15.62± to 1.0±0.11 (93.60% inhibition), which was significant compared (P<0.01). The percentage inhibition of bouts of cough for in-house formulation ( 92.15% ) was very significant compared to standard as well as other marketed preparation .Thus the present study justifies the traditional claims of piper longum churna in the treatment of cough.
