The current study is designed to evaluate the presence of steroid in commonly used unregistered aphrodisiac and anti-arthritic herbal formulation because in unregistered herbal medicines steroids are added deliberately to achieve magical therapeutic effects. It has been seen that, due to lack of quality control, the drugs which are indicated on the container of the herbal medicines are actually not added in these unregistered formulations. Although this work is done on preliminary level, but this work will open the doors for the researchers to evaluate unregistered herbal formulations for the presence of phyto steroids or steroids which are added in formulation for rapid therapeutic effects.
