DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The First Supplement adds to and updates the fourth edition of The International Pharmacopoeia. With publication of this Supplement the fourth edition of The International Pharmacopoeia now comprises the two main volumes published in 2006 and the first Supplement. This Supplement is published simultaneously in print and electronically by means of incorporation into a replacement CD-ROM (and on-line). This provides the user of The International Pharmacopoeia with a choice of form in which to consult the publication depending on the circumstances and the type of enquiry. New monographs: New monographs are included for: five antiretroviral substances; sixteen antiretroviral dosage forms including two fixed-dose combination preparations; one antimalarial dosage form; and six antituberculosis dosage forms including 2- 3- and 4-component fixed-dose preparations. Such specifications support the joint UNICEF-WHO-UN Prequalification project, managed by WHO. In developing these monographs WHO has worked closely with manufacturers, national authorities and national quality control laboratories. New general monographs for Liquid preparations for oral use and Oral powders are included to support the relevant specific dosage-form monographs. The monograph for Liquid preparations for oral use highlights that such preparations are often the dosage form of choice for paediatric use. This general monograph also includes a statement on Safety concerns in the section on Manufacture. This draws attention to the importance of ensuring the quality of starting materials. Failure to ensure that starting materials are of the required quality can have very serious consequences. Where a dosage form that is the subject of a new monograph in this Supplement is included in the first edition of the WHO Model List of Medicines for Children, an indication of the strength or strengths given in this new Model list is provided in the monograph. Such information is provided, where relevant, under the heading "Additional Information" following the statement concerning the strength(s) given in the main Model list. Revision: In parallel with the development of the new monograph for Doxycycline capsules, the published monographs for Doxycycline hyclate and Doxycycline tablets have been revised and replacement texts are included in this supplement. A requirement for dissolution has been included for several monographs. Infrared Reference spectra: Many monographs in The International Pharmacopoeia include an identification test using infrared spectroscopy; these tests usually allow comparison either with a spectrum obtained from the ICRS or with a reference spectrum. The majority of the infrared reference spectra are newly available and now published within this supplement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The British Pharmacopoeia has provided official standards for the quality of substances, medicinal products and articles used in medicine since its first publication in 1864. It is used in over 100 countries and remains an essential global reference in pharmaceutical research and development and quality control. This book explores how these standards have been achieved through a comprehensive review of the history and development of the pharmacopoeias in the UK, from the early London, Edinburgh and Dublin national pharmacopoeias to the creation of the British Pharmacopoeia and its evolution over 150 years. Trade in medicinal substances and products has always been global, and the British Pharmacopoeia is placed in its global context as an instrument of the British Empire as it first sought to cover the needs of countries such as India and latterly as part of its role in international harmonisation of standards in Europe and elsewhere. The changing contents of the pharmacopoeias over this period reflect the changes in medical practice and the development of dosage forms from products dispensed by pharmacists to commercially manufactured products, from tinctures to the latest monoclonal antibody products. The book will be of equal value to historians of medicine and pharmacy as to practitioners of medicine, pharmacy and pharmaceutical analytical chemistry.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations advises the Director-General of WHO in the area of medicines quality assurance. It provides independent expert recommendations and guidance to ensure that medicines meet standards of quality safety and efficacy in all WHO Member States. Its advice is developed through a broad consensus-building process and covers all areas of quality assurance of medicines from their development to their distribution to patients. In the area of quality control the Expert Committee reviewed new and revised specifications and general texts for inclusion in The International Pharmacopoeia and received the annual report of the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) the custodian centre for International Chemical Reference Substances (ICRS). The Committee adopted a number of monographs general texts and ICRS. It noted the report on Phase 5 of the External Quality Assurance Assessment Scheme (EQAAS) and on new approaches to ensure sustainability of this scheme through user fees. The Committee further received a concept paper on the benefits of good pharmacopoeial practices (GPhP) and was informed of progress achieved with developing a comprehensive document on GPhP through discussions at consecutive international meetings of world pharmacopoeias. In the various quality assurance-related areas the Expert Committee was presented with a number of new and revised guidelines related to good manufacturing practices (GMP) distribution and trade of pharmaceuticals and regulatory practice. It adopted eight guidelines and 16 technical supplements as listed below including a new guidance text on good review practice prepared under the leadership of the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation Regulatory Harmonization Steering Committee. The Committee took note of ongoing work to promote collaboration and information exchange through the good regulatory practice project and welcomed the development of a comprehensive set of guidelines for all national regulatory authorities through this project. The report includes the following annexes which are recommended as new WHO guidelines: . Annex 1. Procedure of the development of monographs for inclusion in The International Pharmacopoeia (revision); . Annex 2. Updating mechanism for the section on radiopharmaceuticals in The International Pharmacopoeia (revision); . Annex 3. Supplementary guidelines on good manufacturing practices: validation; Appendix 7: non-sterile process validation (revision); . Annex 4. General guidance for inspectors on hold-time studies (new); . Annex 6. Recommendations for quality requirements when plant-derived artemisinin is used as a starting material in the production of antimalarial active pharmaceutical ingredients (revision); . Annex 7. Guidelines on registration requirements to establish interchangeability (revision); . Annex 8. Guidance on the selection of comparator pharmaceutical products for equivalence assessment of interchangeable multisource (generic) products (revision); . Annex 9: Good review practices guidelines for regulatory authorities (new). In addition 16 technical supplements to the WHO model guidance for the storage and transport of time- and temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products were adopted for publication in a format which is appropriate to the large volume of this guidance (Annex 5). The newly adopted monographs were adopted for inclusion in The International Pharmacopoeia. Following the implementation of the revised general monograph on parenteral preparations the Committee adopted the proposed endotoxin limits for 11 parenteral dosage form monographs lacking such specification together with related updates to relevant monographs. The Committee adopted 12 ICRS newly characterized by the custodian centre EDQM. The Committee further adopted the workplan for new monographs to be included in The International Pharmacopoeia.
