Pharmacuetical Impurity Standards

Any substance that affects the purity of a drug is collectively referred to as a drug impurity. Due to the fact that adverse reactions of drugs in clinical use are not only related to the pharmacological activity of the drug itself, but sometimes also to impurities present in the drug, the study of drug impurities is an important aspect of drug development.
