Implants are small, sterile cylinders of dmg, inserted beneath the skin or into muscle hssue to provide slow absorption and prolonged achon therapy. This is principally based on the fact that such dmgs, invariably hormones, are almost insoluble in water and yet the implant provides a rate of dissoluhon sufficient for a therapeuhc effect. The British Pharmacopoeia (1993) describes one implant, testosterone. The United States National Formulary (1990) also ineludes oestradiol. Implants are made fiom the pure drug into tablet form by compression or fusion. No other ingredient can be included sinee this may be insoluble or toxie or, most importantly, may influence the rate of drug release. 

A statement of each method used in the testing of the sample. The statement shall indicate the location of data that establish that the methods used in the testing of the sample meet proper standards of accuracy and reliability as applied to the product tested. (If the method employed is in the current revision of the United States Pharmacopeia, National Formulary, Association of Official Analytical Chemists, Book of Methods, or in other recognized standard references, or is detailed in an approved new drug application and the referenced method is not modified, a statement indicating the method and reference will suffice). The suitability of all testing methods used shall be verified under actual conditions of use. 

The first official injection (morphine) appeared in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) of 1867. It was not until 1898 when cocaine was added to the BP that sterilization was attempted. In this country, the first official injections may be found in the National Formulary (NF), published in 1926. Monographs were included for seven sterile glass-sealed ampoules. The NF and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) published chapters on sterilization as early as 1916, but no monographs for ampoules appeared in USP until 1942. The current USP contains monographs for over 500 injectable products [1].

The combined United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary (USP-NF) is legally recognized under the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
