The Pharmacopoeia of the United States

The Pharmacopoeia of the United States (USP) is an official reference that sets standards for the quality, strength, purity, and consistency of medicines, dietary supplements, and ingredients used in healthcare. It provides detailed guidelines and test methods to ensure products are safe and effective. Published regularly, the USP serves as a critical resource for healthcare professionals, pharmacists, manufacturers, and regulators to confirm that medicines meet required quality standards before reaching patients.
