Quality Control and Standardization of Herbals (BP806T) sits at the meeting point of pharmacognosy and quality assurance. Herbal drugs are complex, variable, and easily affected by where and how they are grown — so they need careful evaluation and standardization. This paper teaches you WHO guidelines, good practices such as GACP and cGMP for herbal medicines, chromatographic standardization, and how different herbal pharmacopoeias compare. It is essential for students moving into herbal drug manufacturing, QA, or regulatory roles. A reference book with clear analytical methods and marker-based approaches makes the subject far easier. The Nirali edition below follows the PCI units. Preview it, then download the free PDF or order a print copy if you prefer paper.
