The compilation of the 1990 edition Pharmacopoeia of The People's Republic of China (also known as the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 1990) was organized in accordance with the principles and requirements recom mended by the fifth pharmacopoeia commission. It took more than three years to carry out the entire revision process, starting with the planning of the revision work, the drafting of monographs and the technical validation of testing procedures, until finally the draft text was reviewed and adopted for publication by an extended meeting held in December 1989 and attended by the chairman, vice-chairmen of the pharmacopoeia commission and subcommittees. It is the fifth edition of The People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia since the founding of new China.
The present edition of the pharmacopoeia is revised and published under the leadership of the Ministry of Public Health with full support from relevant authorities in this country. The work of revision was accomplished through the collaborative efforts made by the departments of drug policy and management, the drug handling and manufacuring enterprises, drug control, education, research and clinical institutions.
This new edition of the pharmacopoeia is published in two volumes containing 1751 monographs of drug substances and articles. 784 monographs of crude drugs, Chinese patent preparations and single ingredient preparations are admitted to volume I; while 967 monographs of chemicals, antibiotics, biochemicms, biological products, radio pharmaceuticals and formulated preparations are admitted to volume General notice, appendix and index have been incorporated respectively in volume I and [ to facilitate usage.
