Purified water is typically prepared by ion exchange, reverse osmosis or a combination ofthe two treatment processes. Purified water is intended for use as an ingredient in the preparation of compedial dosage forms. It contains no added substances, and is not intended for use in parenteral products. It contains no chloride, calcium, or sulfate, and is essentially free of ammonia, carbon dioxide, heavy metals, and oxidizable substances. Total solids content will be no more than 10 ppm, pH will be 5-7, and the water will contain no coliforms. The United States Pharmacopoeia National Formulaiy (USP) requires that purified water comply with EPA regulations for bacteriological purity of drinking water (40 CFR 141.14, 141.21). Table 4 is a quantitative interpretation of United States Pharmacopoeia XXI standards for purified water. ...

Between 1874 and 1942 it was highly esteemed as a headache remedy by most prominent physicians of the age. Although the American Medical Association vigorously opposed the action, cannabis became essentially illegal in 1937. Whether or not the plant became a scapegoat for a perceived social problem, research funding was curtailed. In 1941, preparations of cannabis were dropped from the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the National Formulary. Yet a year later, the Journal of the American Medical Association advocated that oral preparations of cannabis be prescribed for the relief of menstrual migraine.

The purity of lanolin and standard tests have been described in the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), in The United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), and according to other national standards.13,14 Lanolin is a semisolid with a melting point of approximately 40 6°C and has a molecular weight in the range of 790 to 880 Da. Lanolin is a complex and variable mixture of mainly esters, diesters, hydroxy esters (87.0-93.5%, w/w),7 8 15 lanolin alcohols (6.0-12.5%, w/w), lanolin acids (<0.5%, w/w), and lanolin hydrocarbons (<1.0%, w/w). The latter are also called paraffins and petrolatum by the EP and USP, respectively.13,14 16-18 Approximately 40% of the esters are a-hydroxy esters. Due to the extremely complex nature of lanolin, the true number of different esters present is unknown. Barnett calculated the theoretical number of monoester combinations from random combinations of 69 aliphatic lanolin alcohols, 6 sterols, and 138 saturated lanolin acids to total 10,350.8 This is most probably an underestimate of the total number of esters, as dibasic acids and dihydric alcohols also occur naturally in lanolin.19 Further combinations of cyclic mono- and di-esters may be formed by dehydration and from inter- and intra-esterification due to heating during the manufacturing process.7 8... 

Control of excipients is often built around the various pharmacopeial standards including the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), European Pharmacopoeia (PhEur), Japanese Pharmacopeia (JP) and the United States Pharmacopeia/National Formulary (USP/NF). The use of excipients that conform to a compendium ensures that the material meets the established specifications and acceptance criteria. This provides a handle on the batch-to-batch variability of the excipients used, as well as an option to select from multiple vendors for controlling the cost of goods. However, the pharmaceutical industry has long recognized that these standards are...
