USP Pending Monographs

USP provides Pending Monographs for certain drug products and their drug substances that have been submitted or are intended to be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval to be marketed in the United States, but have not yet received such approval. Under this approach, sponsors of Requests for Revision such as manufacturers of generic or over–the–counter (OTC) products and others can work with USP to create a Pending Monograph as authorized text. Once FDA approval is granted, USP then works with the sponsor to move that monograph into official USP–NF status, along with an official USP Reference Standard where appropriate. Details of the approach are described in the Pending Monographs Guideline Version 2.2

As new and revised Pending Monographs become available, they will be posted on the USP Web site on a monthly basis on the last Friday of each month. Monographs posted in draft for comment will also indicate the deadline for submitting comments and the e–mail address of the USP staff person to whom comments should be directed. Following review of comments and approval by the relevant Expert Committee, the Authorized Pending Standard will be posted to this Web site.
