The ‘United States Pharmacopoeia – National Formulary (USP-NF)’ is a three-volume combination of two official compendia, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the National Formulary (NF). USP-NF is an annual publication, comprising of one main publication and two supplements each year.

The USP-NF provides access to official standards, enforceable by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for drugs and related products manufactured and marketed in the United States.

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.
