INTRODUCTION

The Unani system of medicine is a well established scientific system of Medicine based on the teaching of Hippocrates (Bugrat-460-377BC) Galen (Jalinoos-131-210-AD), developed it into an elaborate Medical System, AND, Arabian and Persian Physicians like Rhazes (850-925-AD) and Avicenna (980- 1037-AD), gave a scientific basis to the system Now, this system has acquired status and acceptance of a native system, the Unani System of Medicine, today, has a long and cherished impressive development record in India and abroad India, today, is the world leader in having the largest and an organised setup of Educational, Healthcare and Research institutions in the country.

In view of the present trend of commercialization, the Government of India is very conscious of quality, safety and efficacy of Unani Drugs. The Manufacture and sale of Unani Drugs is being regulated through the provisions of Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. For the purpose of maintaining quality of products, the provisions of this act, including enforcement of Good Manufacturing practices (GMP), are being effectively enforced. So, therefore, taking into consideration, the need of quality in the arena of commercialization, the Government of India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare have setup the Unani Pharmacopoeia Committee, comprising of Experts from the fields of Unani Medicine, Chemistry, Pharmacology and Botany. The functions of this Pharmacopoeia Committee are twofold, i.e. preparation of National Unani Formulary (Manual of standard formulations in view of multiplicity of private formularies in vogue) and Unani Pharmacopoeia of India. (A compendium of enforceable /practical standards for single and compound unani drugs for ensuring quality of products manufactured by industry). Thus the UPC. is a forum indirectly responsible for enabling manufacture /availability of drugs according to specifications contained in the official documents.
