British Pharmacopoeia 2023

Helping you to do your job quickly, easily and with confidence

New, legally enforced standards, available from 1 August 2022. All European Pharmacopoeia texts included.

Updated annually, the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) is the only comprehensive collection of authoritative official standards for UK pharmaceutical substances and medicinal products.

It includes approximately 4,000 monographs which are legally enforced by the Human Medicines Regulations 2012. Where a BP monograph exists, medicinal products or active pharmaceutical ingredients sold or supplied in the UK must comply with the relevant monograph.

All monographs and requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) are reproduced in the BP, making the BP a convenient and fully comprehensive set of standards that can be used across Europe and beyond.

New for the BP 2023

The BP 2023 supersedes the BP 2022 and becomes legally effective on 1 January 2023. This edition incorporates new monographs from both the BP and Ph. Eur. along with a significant number of revised monographs.
