Description

A handbook of scientific information on widely used plant drugs

ISBN 9780903032162

NOW IN SOFT COVER

Published in 1992

As can be seen from the list below, Volume 1 of the Compendium covers a different range of plant drugs to those featured in Volume 2.

Each volume is complete in itself, but taken together Volumes 1 and 2 cover almost all the plant drugs for which specifications appear in the BHP 1996.

Produced by the BHMA Scientific Committee and edited by Peter Bradley, the Volume 1 monographs offer authoritative summaries of Constituents (with phytochemical structure diagrams) and Therapeutics, copiously referenced to worldwide scientific literature, together with a section on Regulatory Status and excerpts from French guidelines and German Commission E monographs. The format is broadly similar to that of Volume 2 (of which a sample monograph can be downloaded from this site). However, since less herbal research had been published back in 1992, Volume 1 monographs are generally shorter in length and have less detail on Pharmacology, Clinical Studies and Safety than those found in Volume 2; they reflect the level of data available at that time.
