Executive Summary
Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the gold standard for medicine in China, has begun revising its contents. The 2010 edition will extend the record of chemical pharmaceuticals and TCM, adjust the standards of pharmaceutical technology and prepare a catalog of newly added drugs. The revised draft will be completed before the end of 2008.
