BP (British Pharmacopoeia)

The British Pharmacopoeia (BP) is an official collection of standards and quality specifications for medicines, herbal products, and pharmaceutical substances used in the UK. It ensures that medicines meet consistent safety, efficacy, and quality criteria by providing detailed descriptions, tests, and guidelines for manufacturers. The BP is regularly updated by experts to reflect current scientific knowledge, helping healthcare providers and pharmacists ensure their products are reliable and safe for patients. Essentially, it acts as a trusted reference that upholds high standards in the development, production, and regulation of medicines.
