German Pharmacopoeia (DAB)

The purpose of the German Pharmacopoeia is congruent with the purpose of the European Pharmacopoeia. Just like the latter, it governs the quality parameters and quality control of drugs and herbal drugs. It contains monographs of drugs that only have a meaning in Germany and therefore are not or not yet covered in the European Pharmacopoeia. It is only binding in Germany and is updated annually (loose leaf booklet).
