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. The USP−NF is a 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. 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. More than 130 countries around the world use these standards to ensure quality of pharmaceuticals and public health.
