Revisions to USP

Revisions To USP—NF General Chapter Proposed
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP), Rockville, MD, has proposed revisions to the General Chapter 2750 Manufacturing Practices for Nutritional Supplements in the United States Pharmacopeia 25 and the National Formulary 20 (USP) 25—NF 20. Of importance is changing the chapter’s title to Manufacturing Practices for Dietary Supplements, as well as providing methods to be used in, and the facilities and controls to be used for the manufacture of all dietary supplements. The intentions of the proposed revisions to the General Chapter are to help ensure that all dietary supplements meet requirements for strength, quality and purity.
