Abstract

Digitalis and its tablets were irradiated at graded doses of 5-25 kGy to determine minimum decontamination dose and monitored for changes, if any, in physicochemical characteristics. The irradiated samples were tested for stability at different temperature and humidity conditions. Digitalis and its tablets were successfully decontaminated at 15 kGy and found to be stable upto 25 kGy dose of gamma radiation.
