Abstract
There has been progress in the pharmacopeial harmonization initiative among the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the European Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. Monographs on excipients and on biote chnology-derived products, as well as for General Chapters are progres sing through the various stages of the harmonization process. An addit ional initiative, Concordance of Foreign Pharmacopeial Tests and Assay s, has been proposed by the USP.
