A
Feedback:
The United States Dispensatory (USD) lists official and unofficial names of internationally existing and discontinued medications. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the National Formulary (NF) identify the official names of medications used in the United States. Many other publications, such as Lippincott's Nursing Drug Guide, and the Nursing Drug Reference and Handbook of Drugs for Nursing Practice, are published annually. These sources are designed to meet the needs of nursing students and practicing licensed nurses.
