TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Blood components. The Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) 2026 is the world's first pharmacopoeia to prescribe exclusive standards for blood and blood components. Indian Pharmacopoeia 2026, the 10th edition, was released on 2 January 2026 by Union Health Minister J. P. Nadda in New Delhi. The 10th edition of the Indian Pharmacopoeia introduces 20 new monographs and revises 2 monographs for blood-related quality standards. A pharmacopoeial monograph is a legally recognised specification that defines the identity, purity, strength, and quality of a substance or product. The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and is headquartered in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The blood standards in Indian Pharmacopoeia 2026 are legally enforceable and support quality assurance in blood transfusion services. The new standards are aligned with the Directorate General of Health Services guidelines to help reduce blood transfusion-transmitted infections. The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission organised a national conference on implementing the new blood standards at Ghaziabad on 24–25 June 2026.
