Pharmacopeial Forum (PF)

PF is a free bimonthly online journal in which USP publishes proposed revisions to USP–NF for public review and comment.

New issues publish every two months at the beginning of the month. The comment period is 90-days and ends on the last day of the month (View current PF Publication and Comment Schedule).

  • In-Process Revisions
  • Proposed Interim Revision Announcements (IRAs)
  • PDG Harmonization Proposals (Stage 4)
  • Stimuli Articles
