  Pharmacopoeia - LoveToKnow 1911
The preparations contained in these three pharmacopoeias were not all uniform in strength, a source of much inconvenience and danger to the public, when powerful preparations such as dilute hydrocyanic acid were ordered in the one country and dispensed according to the national pharmacopoeia in another.
This dissatisfaction was probably owing partly to the fact that the majority of the compilers of the work were not engaged in the practice of pharmacy, and therefore competent rather to decide upon the kind of preparations required than upon the method of their manufacture.
Another legal difficulty connected with modern pharmacopoeias is the inclusion in some of them of synthetic chemical remedies, the processes for preparing which have been patented, whilst the substances are sold under trade-mark names such as veronal.

 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.

 International GMPs - A Detailed Background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Originally pharmacopoeias were collections of recipes to assure consistent communication between physician and pharmacists, but have transformed over time into a book of standards describing the quality specifications a raw material and pharmaceutical product.
The oldest known pharmacopoeia appears to be the Chinese Pên-ts'ao Ching, dating to about 4,000 BCE, while in Europe the oldest pharmacopoeia appears to be that written in the monastery at Lorsch, Germany in 795 CE.
Additional influential pharmacopoeias worth noting, either due to the sizes of their populations or to the extent of their export trade in pharmaceuticals, are those of China, India and Japan.

 Pharmacopoeia -- 3d (1851) Edition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Probably inspired by the British Pharmacopoeia, its history started in the 1820s, when several American medical societies came together to create the first edition of the United States Pharmacopoeia (U.S.P.).
The U.S. Pharmacopoeia can, therefore, best be thought of as a medical cookbook; one that dictates the exact formula, parts of the plant, and the exact method of preparation of base drugs for pharmaceutical use.
The growth of its use and popularity was so fast that had the pharmacopoeia committee not convened only once every decade, it would most certainly been entered before then.
