British Pharmacopoeia 2015 [online Edition - Single User Licence]

Book excerpt: The British Pharmacopoeia (BP) 2015 marks the 150th Anniversary of setting quality standards for medicines and medicinal products in the UK. To celebrate this sesquicentenary year, each copy of the BP 2015 includes a complimentary, commemorative digital facsimile of the BP 1864 - the first edition (on a USB stick). This edition also sees the introduction of a USB download format which replaces the CD-ROM. Updated annually, the BP is the official, authoritative collection of standards for UK medicinal substances for human and veterinary use. The BP 2015 includes almost 3,500 monographs. All monographs and requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia are also reproduced in the BP, making it an essential reference for students, lecturers and researchers. The online product provides subscribers with access to the British pharmacopoeia 2015, British pharmacopoeia (veterinary) 2015 and the current edition and supplements of Britsh approved names. Concurrent access to the 2014 and 2015 editions is maintained for a short period.
