Physicians use several formulations, which may include Herbal, Mineral, or Animal raw materials, to treat ailments.

The consumption of inadequately and improperly purified substances may produce undesired results in the patient. A good number of materials, although poisonous are used as raw materials in Ayurveda medicines because of their therapeutic efficacy. Dhattura is one such drug which is an ingredient in many formulations that have multiple therapeutic applications. This work exposes the result of an extensive literature-search that helps not only to find out the various medical formulations of Dhattura with indications, but also to estimate the percentage of Dhattura in different preparations. From the study it was found that more than 552 formulations contain various parts of Dhattura as one of the ingredient. 298 formulations contain Dhattura seed as one of the ingredients. In those
174 formulations which are in solid dosage form was taken for the study. No formulations among these contained Dhattura in a percentage more than 50%. The permitted dose of Dhattura bija is 62.5-125mg for internal administration.
