means written study of a substance

Monograph Derived from greek word

: english, and refers to the official name of the compound.subtitles can also be given ,these are synonyms eg: calcium carbonate aso called as precipitated chalk

chemical formula and its molecular wt is given
eg: MgCl2.6H2O ,MW: 202.30

: describes pharmacologic application eg: antacids, laxatives etc

: quantities for the guidance of the prescriber to achieve the desired therapeutic effects eg: CaCO3 dose 1 to 5 gm

: gives physical description of the substances. Eg: crystalline or
amorphous, nature, color, order, taste eg: CaCO3 fine, white, microcrystalline powder, ordourless, tasteless

: it specifies the quantitative purity of the
compound. Eg: pottassium bromide have not less
than 98% of KBr,calculated with reference of dried substance

: involves specific chemical test .color reactions,
precipitating test, gas evolving reactions
Eg: phenol + FeCl3=gives violet color

: to guide the pharmacist to develop various dosage forms and to
avoid physiological complications
Eg: calcium amino salicylate 2 % w/v solution gives pH 6 to 8.

for different chemicals different limit test are
present. tests include acidity, alkalinity, Ph, specific impurities (limit test for chlorides, sulphates)
