Handling and Referencing

This experiment involves using the Indian Pharmacopoeia to find information about specific formulations or monographs
The steps involve:
- Searching the index for the desired formulation or monograph in the last volume of the pharmacopoeia.
- Searching the name of the formulation or monograph in the index (which is alphabetically ordered) for index page numbers.
- Locating the formulation or monograph using the page number and volume of the pharmacopoeia.
- Studying the formula, procedure, storage, identification test, etc. under the monograph.
