Brief Summary  

Influenza like illness (ILI) refers to a wide range of viral infections, usually characterized by an increase in normal body temperature, body aches, joint pains, skin rashes and headache etc. These infections are treated symptomatically and antivirals are prescribed wherever needed along with antibiotics to prevent opportunistic or secondary infections. Many Ayurvedic formulations (Single plant, Polyherbal and herbomineral) are in practice for successful management of viral infections. Ayush-64 is a poly-herbal drug developed by CCRAS which is found to be effective in fevers of unknown aetiology, filarial lymphangitis and derangement of liver function besides its anti-malarial activity. A pilot study on safety and efficacy of AYUSH-64 in the treatment of clinically diagnosed influenza like illness will be carried at the O.P.D/I.P.D of R.R.A. Podar Central Ayurveda Research Institute for Cancer, Mumbai. The objective of the study will be to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AYUSH 64 in clinically diagnosed influenza like illness. Total 38 patients will be studied and a comprehensive assessment consisting of parameters viz. Improvement in the symptoms and fever, Frequency of Usage of Acetaminophen/ antihistaminic/ cough syrup, Incidence of secondary complications, and Time to return to normal state of health and activity etc. These findings will be documented through specially designed clinical record form & relevant conclusion will be drawn.
