Syrup BP, or British Pharmacopoeia syrup, is a type of syrup that conforms to specifications outlined in the British Pharmacopoeia. It is commonly used as a vehicle for medicinal compounds, providing a sweet taste and improving the palatability of oral medications. The syrup typically contains sugar, water, and may also include preservatives and flavoring agents. It serves both therapeutic and aesthetic purposes in pharmaceutical formulations.
The color blue is used for the Indian Pharmacopoeia to represent trust, reliability, and professionalism. Blue also symbolizes integrity and quality in the field of medicine and pharmaceuticals.
USP stands for United States Pharmacopoeia and IP for Indian Pharmacopoeia, so there's not necessarily a medical difference i suppose,
IP stands for Indian Pharmacopoeia, BP stands for British Pharmacopoeia and USP stands for United States Pharmacopoeia. Those are official books which mentions the standard drug preparation with composition, quantity and other particulars of the drug preparations, available in that country. All three are applicable in India.

Magnesium peroxide is not listed in the Indian Pharmacopoeia. However, it can be tested using methods such as titration, spectrophotometry, or gravimetric analysis to determine its purity and concentration in formulations, in line with pharmacopoeial standards for similar compounds.
IP syrup (Intra-venous Paracetamol) is not typically compared in sweetness to BP syrup (British Pharmacopoeia syrup), as they serve different purposes in medicine. BP syrup is often a formulation that may include sugars or sweeteners to enhance palatability, making it sweeter. In contrast, IP syrup is focused on delivering medication effectively rather than taste. Therefore, BP syrup is generally sweeter due to its formulation.
A pharmacopoeia is a book containing a list of medicinal drugs, and their descriptions of preparation and use.
As per the Indian Pharmacopoeia, the weight variation limit for tablets is generally specified as not more than 5% by weight deviating from the average weight of the tablets. This ensures uniformity in dosage delivery and quality control during manufacturing.
