USP 2024 Monographs

In the pharmacopeia, monographs refer to the names, specifications, definitions, and other requirements related to packaging, storage, and labeling. Specifications include methods, tests, and acceptance criteria that help ensure the identity, strength, quality, and purity of the articles. For general requirements related to specific parts of the monograph, refer to Section 5, Components of a Monograph.

Since monographs may not provide standards for all relevant characteristics, some official articles may comply with USP or NF standards but differ in non-standard attributes due to their specific usage in special preparations. To ensure interchangeability under such circumstances, users may want to verify the functional equivalence (FUND) or determine these characteristics before use.

In this PDF format, you can find a PDF of each drug monograph, as described below. Each monograph PDF includes:

• Definition
• Identification
• Assay
• Impurities
• Specific Tests
• Additional Requirements
• General Chapters

Each general chapter is assigned a unique number that appears in angle brackets next to the chapter name (e.g., <Chromatography>).

General chapters may include:

• Descriptions of tests and procedures for applications through individual monographs
• Specifications and descriptions of conditions for pharmaceutical compounding
• General information for interpreting book requirements
• General descriptions for drug storage, distribution, and packaging
• General guidance for manufacturers of official substances or official products

When a general chapter is referenced in a monograph, the acceptance criteria may be presented after the colon.

Some chapters may serve as an overview of test or analytical techniques. They may refer to other general chapters that include detailed procedures and acceptance criteria.
