Pharmacopoeia

A pharmacopoeia is a detailed official publication that provides standards, descriptions, and quality requirements for medicines, herbal products, and related substances. It ensures consistency, safety, and efficacy by specifying the ingredients, preparation methods, and testing procedures. Pharmacopoeias are used by healthcare professionals, manufacturers, and regulators to maintain high quality in pharmaceutical products, helping to ensure that medicines are safe, effective, and meet recognized standards. They serve as authoritative references for the proper formulation, testing, and evaluation of drugs across different regions and countries.
