The International Pharmacopoeia vol-4
The International Pharmacopoeia comprises a collection of recommended procedures for the analysis and specifications for the determination of pharmaceutical substances excipients and dosage forms that are intended to serve as source material for reference or adaptation by any WHO Member States wishing to establish pharmacopoeia requirements. They are meant to have legal status only if a national authority expressly introduces them into appropriate legislation. The policies and aims of the third edition of The International Pharmacopoeia together with general notices and methods of analysis are set out in detail in the prefaces to previous volumes. Increasingly the selection of monographs is determined by those substances included in the current WHO Model List of Essential Drugs Volumes 2 and 3 of this edition already contain monographs for the majority of substances included in the Model List and this policy will continue to be adhered to in the future.
The International Pharmacopoeia vol-3
The International Pharmacopoeia constitutes a collection of recommended methods and specifications that are not intended to have a legal status as such in any country unless expressly introduced for that purpose by appropriate legislation but are offered to serve as reference so that national requir ements can be established on a similar basis in any country. It should be noted that in general the quality of pharmaceutical products cannot be adequately established on the basis of specifications alone and that they should invariably be produced in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices. Many national or regional pharmacopoeias rely increasingly on complex-techniques of analysis that while time-saving require expensive equipment and highly specialized personnel. These methods are therefore inapplicable in countries lacking such resources. Since The International Pharmacopoeia aims primarily at accommodating the needs of developing countries it offers instead sound simplified and classical chemical methods Moreover the selection of methods is correlated with the WHO recommendations concerning equipment for small and medium-sized drug quality control laboratories.
The International Pharmacopoeia vol-2
The International Pharmacopoeia and drew up the tentative production schedule for the third edition, which will published in several volumes. As recommended by the Committee, volume I of the third edition contains the description of general methods of analysis, while the succeeding volumes Will contain the monographs, i.e., quality specifications for individual drugs, primarily those most widely used in general health care.
