USP recently did a branding update, and their logo has never been put on this page. Here is a link to the logo: http://www.usp.org/themes/usporg/images/interior_logo.png. This is the logo currently in use on their main site at www.usp.org.

This article is titled United Statates Pharmacopoeia. However, on the web pages of its publishers, which does indeed have the second o in the spelling of its name, United States Pharmacopoeial Convention, Inc., in the list of acronyms at http://www.usp.org/pdf/standards/acronyms.pdf it is listed as
USP: United States Pharmacopeia
USP DI: U.S. Pharmacopeia Dispensing Information
USP-DQI: USP Drug Quality and Information Progarm
USP-IV: U.S. Pharmacopeia’s Ingredient Verification Program
USP–NF: U.S. Pharmacopeia–National Formulary

The following was on Unique selling proposition but probably belongs here:
USP also refers to, in the medical and pharmaceutical world, a standard of quality.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is the official public standards-setting authority for all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, dietary supplements, and other healthcare products manufactured and sold in the United States. USP sets standards for the quality of these products and works with healthcare providers to help them reach the standards. USP's standards are also recognized and used in more than 130 countries. These standards have been helping to ensure good pharmaceutical care for people throughout the world for more than 185 years.
USP is an independent, science-based public health organization. As a self-sustaining nonprofit organization, USP is funded through revenues from the sale of products and services that help to ensure good pharmaceutical care. USP's contributions to public health are enriched by the participation and oversight of volunteers representing pharmacy, medicine, and other healthcare professions as well as academia, government, the pharmaceutical industry, health plans, and consumer organizations. USP promotes the public health by developing and disseminating quality standards and information for medicines, healthcare delivery, and related products and practices. Our standards and information help patients and practitioners maintain and improve health.
USP establishes public standards to help assure good quality medicines, dietary supplements, and related products used to maintain health and treat disease. Prescription and over-the-counter medicines available in the United States must, by federal law, meet USP's public standards, where such standards exist. Many other countries require the use of high-quality standards such as USP's to assure the quality of medicines and related products. USP disseminates its standards to pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmacists, and other users through its USP–NF and other publications, official USP Reference Standards materials, and Pharmacopeial Education courses.
USP also conducts verification programs for dietary supplement ingredients and products. These programs involve independent testing and review to verify ingredient and product integrity, purity, and potency for manufacturers who choose to participate.

Is this in any way related to the labeling of medications? For Example: 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or Povidone-Iodine, USP anyone know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.190.35 ( talk) 07:43, 12 April 2009
Does anyone know which is a higher standard of quality, USP certification vs. GMP certification? I'm specifically talking about dietary supplements. Toni H. 98.190.145.197 ( talk) 23:58, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

this article has exactly zero references. why is it notable? hope someone doesn't find this question absurd, although i wouldn't be surprised as we live in a absurd world. 188.2.160.48 ( talk) 10:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
I would think it relevant to the article to state that documentation of "USP" medicines and food additives costs $500 and there appears to be no free online access to this important information. The heart of standardization of ingredients is a for-profit corporation. No one cares? There is no controversy over this? No WP editor wants to research this? David Spector ( talk) 15:19, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure how this fits in, but . . .
The first time I ever heard of "USP" was in a commercial for Nature Made supplements.
In fact, it's the only time I hear about "USP" on TV --- in Nature Made commercials.
At the "Nature Made" redirect to the article of Pharmavite, it's stated that "Pharmavite works with the United States Pharmacopeia's (USP) Dietary Supplements Verification Program on some of its products."
Should this 'connection' be mentioned in this article?
Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D ( talk) 00:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
The first sentence of the article says that "U.S. Pharmacopeia" is the name of the published compendium, and "the United States Pharmacopeial Convention" is the organization that publishes it. (Both are referred to as USP.) However, the organization's press releases and Twitter feed say the organization's name is also "U.S. Pharmacopeia," suggesting that the page's first sentence is wrong. 169.252.4.21 ( talk) 15:59, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
