| | Pharmacopoeia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pharmacopoeia (literally, the art of the drug compounder), in its modern technical sense, is a book containing directions for the identification of samples and the preparation of compound medicines, and published by the authority of a government or a medical or pharmaceutical society. |
 | | There are national and international pharmacopoeias, like the EU and the U.S. pharmacopoeias. |
 | | All the pharmacopoeias were issued under the authority of government, and their instructions have the force of law in their respective territories, except that of the United States, which was prepared by commissioners appointed by medical and pharmaceutical societies, and has no other authority, although generally accepted as the national textbook. |
