This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of herbal coded formulation (Pharinjaline) compared with erythromycin for the treatment of sore throats and acute pharyngitis. One hundred patients with sore throat and pharyngitis were randomly divided into two groups, 50 in each group. Test group was treated with Pharinjaline and control group was treated with erythromycin. The effect of both drugs for the treatment of sore throats and acute pharyngitis were seen before and after treatment. Comparison of data recorded by the physician on the variables showed significant differences between test and control groups (p <0.05). The efficacy of the test treated medication (Pharinjaline) was superior as p = 0.03. Pharinjaline is more effective than the Erythromycin in the treatment of sore throat and acute pharyngitis
