description |
Plant materials are used throughout developed and developing countries as
home remedies, over-the-counter drug products and raw materials for the
pharmaceutical industry, and represent a substantial proportion of the global
drug market. It is therefore essential to establish internationally recognized
guidelines for assessing their quality. The World Health Assembly - in
resolutions WHA31.33 (1978), WHA40.33 (1987) and WHA42.43 (1989) - has
emphasized the need to ensure the quality of medicinal plant products by using
modern control techniques and applying suitable standards. This manual
describes a series of tests for assessing the quality of medicinal plant materials.
The tests are designed primarily for use in national drug quality control
laboratories in developing countries, and complement those described in The
international pharmacopoeia,' which provides quality specifications only for the
few plant materials that are included in the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs.'
This manual does not constitute a herbal pharmacopoeia, but a collection of test
procedures to support the development of national standards based on local
market conditions, with due regard to existing national legislation and national
and regional norms. Publications containing relevant specifications and
standards, including those related to the food industry, are listed in the
References and Bibliography. |
