The Compounding (CMP) and the Nomenclature, Safety, and Labeling (NSL) Expert Committees propose to revise the title of compounded preparations monographs consistent with the Nomenclature Guidelines and General Chapter <7> Labeling which will be published in USP 38–NF 33.

The word “compounded” will be added to the title of compounded preparation monographs using the following convention:

This change will impact 77 monographs, each of which will require approval by the CMP and NSL Expert Committees.
