It is raining heavily today. Due to water logging on the road I was unable to go anywhere. Relaxing and enjoying the rainfall. Drinking a number of cups of hot coffee.

Well friends, another very popular Pharmacopoeia is The United States Pharmacopoeia which come along with National Formulary. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is the official pharmacopeia of the United States, published dually with the National Formulary as the USP-NF. The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (usually also called the USP) is the nonprofit organization that owns the trademark and copyright to the USP-NF and publishes it every year. Prescription and over–the–counter medicines and other health care products sold in the United States are required to follow the standards in the USP-NF. USP also sets standards for food ingredients and dietary supplements.

United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF 30):

The United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF) is a book of public pharmacopeial standards. It contains standards for medicines, dosage forms, drug substances, excipients, medical devices, and dietary supplements. Monographs and General Chapters The USP–NF is a three volume combination of two official compendia, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the  National Formulary (NF). Monographs for drug substances and preparations are featured in the USP.
Monographs for dietary supplements and ingredients appear in a separate section of the USP. Excipient monographs are in the NF. A monograph includes the name of the ingredient or preparation; the definition; packaging, storage, and labeling requirements; and the specification. The specification consists of a series of tests, procedures for the tests, and acceptance criteria. These tests and procedures require the use of official USP Reference Standards. Medicinal ingredients and products will have the stipulated strength, quality, and purity if they conform to the requirements of the monograph and relevant general chapters.
