The BP 2024 contains a new monograph for Quinine Sulfate Oral Suspension.
According to the World Health Organization (2019), over 95% of malaria disease burden occurs in Africa, where children under five years account for 67% of fatalities worldwide. At the MHRA, our British Pharmacopoeia and Laboratory Services team, working in collaboration with leading experts from industry and the UK National Health Service, have developed a new monograph and corresponding physical standards for quinine oral suspension for use in patients that cannot tolerate solid dosage formulations.
Here at the MHRA we are proud to respond to global health issues by establishing individual standards for widely used life preserving medicines.
