Ethanolic extracts of Piper betel (betel leaf) and Lantana camara (lantana) were used in the formulation and evaluation of an antibacterial ointment. Due to their medicinal qualities, which include antibacterial qualities, both of these plants have long been utilized in traditional medicine. Lantana camara and Piper betel ethanolic extracts were made for this study and added to a base ointment. A variety of bacterial and fungal strains were tested for the ointment's antibacterial efficacy using conventional microbiological methods. The physicochemical characteristics of the ointment, such as its stability, pH, consistency, and spreadability, were evaluated. The formulation showed potential efficacy against common infections, and the results showed significant antibacterial activity. In order to verify the ointment's biocompatibility, the study also evaluated its safety profile. The creation of the ointment by mixing these plant extracts offers a natural substitute for antibacterial therapy, which adds to the increasing demand for plant-based pharmaceuticals.
