Abstract: This new edition of the Indian Pharmacopoeia entitled Indian Pharmacopoeia 2007 has been prepared by the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) in accordance with a plan and completed through the untiring efforts of its members and its Secretariat over a period of about two years. This is the fifth edition of the Indian Pharmacopoeia after Independence. It supersedes the 1996 edition but any monograph of the earlier edition that does not figure in this edition continues to be official as stipulated in the Second Schedule of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
Presentation- The Indian Pharmacopoeia 2007 is presented in three volumes. Volume 1 contains the Notice, Preface, the structure of the IPC, Acknowledgements, Introduction, and the General Chapters. Volume 2 deals with the General Monographs on Drug Substances, Dosage Forms and Pharmaceutical Aids (A to M). Volume 3 contains Monographs on Drug Substances, Dosage Forms and Pharmaceutical Aids (N to Z) followed by Monographs on Vaccines and Immunosera for Human use, Herbs and Herbal products, Blood and blood-related products, Biotechnology products and Veterinary products.
The scope of the Pharmacopoeia has been extended to include products of biotechnology, indigenous herbs and herbal products, viral vaccines and additional antiretroviral drugs and formulations, inclusive of commonly used fixed-dose combinations. Standards for veterinary drugs and products that were published as a Supplement to the previous edition of the Indian Pharmacopoeia now form an integral part of this compendium. |
