I think it’s funny that they call USP obscure, when they dictate so much about US Pharma standards. Maybe the average layperson doesn’t know about them, but they are ubiquitous in our drug world

What? You mean those silly monographs. Nah, those only control all the reference standards of US pharmacopoeia. It’s not like almost every supplement, generic otc, and prescription drug is beholden to USP.
