The US Pharmacopeial (USP) Convention has called for comments on proposed design changes to all monographs contained in its United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF).

 

Monographs contain validated analytical methods to ensure the identity of different components and protect consumers and industry from low quality and adulterated products.

“The redesign initiative brings consistency to the language used throughout the USP–NF and weaves the text into a new outline and format to help readers more easily find what they're looking for,” said USP.

Starting today, redesigned monographs will be available on USP’s website for comment. They will be posted on a staggered basis, the last of which will be posted on December 1. Each set up for comment for 90 days, said the group.
