Numbers and percentages of 219 essential anti-infective medicines covered by monographs in each of eight pharmacopeias, 2017
Notes: Medicines were considered essential if listed on the 20th edition of the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential Medicines.5 Eight pharmacopeias were searched for monographs on each medicine. A monograph was only considered complete if it gave details of identity, assay and impurities procedures and either a dissolution assay or other dosage-form-specific test. Although percentages are indicated by the heights of the bars, the numbers within the plot area indicate absolute numbers of monographs.
