Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia, or hyperlipidaemia (Medo Roga) is the condition of abnormally elevated level of any or all lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood. It is the most common form of dyslipidaemia (which also includes any decreased lipid levels). Primary hyperlipidaemia is usually due to genetic causes (such as a mutation in a receptor protein), while Secondary hyperlipidaemia arises due to other underlying causes such as diabetes. Lipids and lipoprotein abnormalities are regarded as a modifiable risk factor for CHD/CVD due to their influence on atherosclerosis. In addition some form may predispose to acute pancreatitis. The lipids in contemporary science can be correlated with Medas and hence Medohara treatment can be employed in the treatment of hyperlipidaemia (Medo Roga). Now a days hyperlipidaemia (Medo Roga) became a burning problem. A number of herbal, mineral and herbo mineral medicines are described in various ancient texts of Ayurveda for treating hyperlipidaemia (Medo Roga). The main purpose of this review is to identify the hypolipidaemic (Medohara)drugs mentioned in different classics of Ayurveda to evaluate their efficasy by conducting pharmaceutical and clinical research.
