IP (Indian Pharmacopoeia)

The Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) is an official book that sets standards for the quality, purity, strength, and consistency of medicines in India. It provides detailed specifications and guidelines for manufacturers to ensure medicines are safe and effective. The IP covers various drugs, including herbal, chemical, and biological products. Regulatory authorities use it to verify that pharmaceutical products meet the required quality standards before they are supplied to healthcare providers and patients. Essentially, the IP acts as a benchmark for maintaining high-quality medicines across the country.
