New pharmacopoeial monographs concerning water for pharmaceutical purposes. Change of microbiological requirements for purified water - a step back. New monographs concerning water for pharmaceutical purposes have been just published in Supplement 2005 to Polish Pharmacopoeia VI edition. They are translated version of Ph. Eur. 5 monographies, however Polish monography of water for ophthalmic preparations, was also included. Adopted from Ph. Eur. 5 microbiological requirements for purified water are again - like 4 years ago, not harmonized with microbiological requirements for drinking water. Currently, we have again the situation, that microbiological requirements for drinking water are higher than those for pharmacopoeial purified water. Hopefully Committee of Polish Pharmaopoeia decided that purified water in containers used for preparation of recipe drugs should be sterile.
