• A pharmacopeia in the modern technical sense, is a book containing instructions for identifying compound medicinal products and is published by a government agency or a medical or pharmaceutical society. Descriptions of preparations are called monographs that are present in the pharmacopeia for each substance.
• The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) is an autonomous body of the Department of Health and Family Welfare that sets standards for all pharmaceuticals manufactured, sold and consumed in India.
• Friability describes the tendency of a solid substance to break into smaller pieces under pressure or contact, especially rubbing. Substances labeled as hazardous, such as asbestos or crystalline silica, are often labeled as brittle when the small particles break off easily and become airborne and are therefore respirable, posing a health hazard.
