European Pharmacopoeia
The European Pharmacopoeia (EP) main volume and supplements
are legally binding and details the qualitative and quantitative composition of
medicines, the tests to be carried out on medicines, on the raw materials used
in the production of medicines and on the intermediates of synthesis.
The EP is a single reference work for the quality control
of medicines in Europe. All producers of medicines or substances for
pharmaceutical use must apply the quality standards of the European
Pharmacopoeia for the marketing and use of these products in Europe.
The EP outlines preparations for pharmaceutical use of
chemical, animal, human or herbal origin. It also covers biologicals, blood and
plasma derivatives, vaccines and radiopharmaceutical preparations. The
monographs give quality standards for all the main medicines used in Europe.
The European Pharmacopoeia is supplied as a subscription
only to ensure that subscribers receive all three issues of their purchase.
Print supplements are non-cumulative and therefore all previous issues of an
edition are required. Electronic supplements are completely cumulative and only
the current edition is required.
