USP to Publish Spanish Translation of USP - NF

The U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) announces that it will begin publishing the U.S. Pharmacopeia - National Formulary (USP - NF), in Spanish beginning in November 2005. USP is a nonprofit nongovernmental public health organization that sets therapeutic product standards enforceable in the United States by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and followed in many other countries around the world.

The USP - NF provides standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity for prescription and non - prescription drug ingredients and dosage forms, dietary supplements, medical devices, and other health care products. The compendium includes tests, analytical procedures, and acceptance criteria. As with the English version, the Spanish publication will include a certificate of authenticity.

The Spanish version will enable Spanish-speaking customers to use the USP - NF in their own language. The Spanish version (Farmacopea de los Estados Unidos de America - Formulario National) will be a scientifically exact translation of the English version and will be published in November 2005, and become official on January 1, 2006. The main book will be accompanied by two supplements, to be released in February (official on April 1) and June (official on August 1). The USP 29 - NF 24 Spanish version will be available for sale in late summer 2005.
