Pharmacopoeial Convention

The Pharmacopoeial Convention is an organization that develops and maintains official standards for medicines, including their ingredients, quality, and testing methods. These standards ensure that drugs are safe, effective, and consistently prepared across different manufacturers and regions. Essentially, it creates authoritative reference books called pharmacopoeias that guide pharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals in producing and verifying medications. By setting these standards, the Convention helps protect public health and maintain trust in medicines worldwide.
