farmakopoeja

Farmakopoeja is a book containing directions for the identification of compound medicines, and for the వాటి preparation. It may also contain sections on the properties, medicinal uses, and toxicology of drugs. Historically, pharmacopoeias have been published by governments or learned societies. Today, many national pharmacopoeias are published by government agencies, such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.). The World Health Organization (WHO) also publishes a pharmacopoeia, the International Pharmacopoeia (Int. Ph.).

The purpose of a pharmacopoeia is to provide a standard for the quality of drugs. This ensures that drugs are safe and effective for use. Pharmacopoeias set standards for the purity, potency, and identity of drugs. They also provide methods for testing drugs to ensure that they meet these standards.

The first pharmacopoeia was published in Florence in 1498. The USP was established in 1820, and the Ph. Eur. was first published in 1967. The Int. Ph. was first published in 1951.

Pharmacopoeias are important documents for the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare professionals, and patients. They play a vital role in ensuring the quality and safety of medicines.
