Drug Standards

A drug standard is a standardized substance which is used for the measurement of similar substances. Where the exact active substances of a novel drug are not known, a drug standard provides a calibrated level of biological effects against which new preparations of the drug can be compared. They provide important information such as efficacy, dosage, allergies, interactivity and even alternate therapies as appropriate. Drug standards are highly characterized physical specimens used in testing by pharmaceutical and related industries to help ensure the identity, quality, purity and strength of medicines, food ingredients and dietary supplements.

Drug Standards provide pharmacists, physicians and other health care providers with an improved ability to manage complete patient medication profiles across the continuum of care.
