The name pharmacopoeia originates from
the two Greek words: ‘Pharmacon’ means a drug; and ‘poieo’ means to make.
Pharmacopoeia is the theoretical part of Pharmacy.
The supreme authoritative book published
by the authority of government of any country, which deals with the scientific
facts and logical attitude of the rules
and regulations of standardization of drug substance, containing directions for
collecting drug material from different sources, for preparing, preserving, compounding
and combining of various drugs. Besides, it also contains-external
applications, prescription writing, posology and monograph of drugs. It is
officially published by the authority of government of any country or any
medical or pharmaceutical society. A Pharmacopoeia published by such authority
is termed as ‘official’.
So, we can say that
Pharmacopoeia is an essential part of Homoeopathic Pharmacy.
