        <p>The goal of the current study is to formulate and evaluate a herbal syrup that contains 
Gokhuru (Tribulus terrestris Linn.), a medicinal plant that is frequently used in traditional 
Ayurvedic medicine to treat renal and urinary issues. Because gokhuru contains bioactive 
components such steroidal saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, and tannins, it has 
important pharmacological properties like diuretic, anti-urolithiatic, nephroprotective, antiinflammatory, and aphrodisiac actions. Gokhuru&apos;s dried fruits were gathered, verified, 
prepared, and extracted using an aqueous extraction technique. To formulate a tasty and 
stable herbal formulation, the extract was added to a syrup basis that had been made with the 
appropriate sweetening, flavoring, and preservative ingredients. Color, odor, taste, pH, 
viscosity, specific gravity, refractive index, and total soluble solids were among the 
organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics of the prepared syrup that were assessed. To 
guarantee the formulation&apos;s stability and safety, stability tests and microbial quality evaluation 
were also carried out. The prepared syrup had good stability during storage, satisfactory 
microbiological quality, and acceptable physicochemical properties, according to the results. 
The Gokhuru herbal syrup is a stable, safe, and patient-friendly dosage form with potential 
therapeutic benefits for renal and urinary tract problems, according to the study&apos;s findings. 
The formulation and standardization of herbal liquid formulations for better patient 
compliance and broader use in contemporary healthcare systems is supported by this work.</p>
