Introduction to Pharmacognosy

Introduction to Pharmacognosy is a core first-semester subject in the PCI NEP 2020 B.Pharmacy syllabus that introduces students to the study of natural drug sources — plants, animals, minerals, and marine organisms used in medicine. This category covers the history and scope of pharmacognosy, classification of crude drugs, cultivation and collection of medicinal plants, and the basics of herbal drug standardization.

These notes are written in simple, exam-oriented language to help B.Pharmacy students build a strong foundation in natural product sciences before moving into advanced pharmacognosy and phytochemistry in later semesters.
