Arrangement

The information consists of monographs that are divided into 22 sections to enable the reader to find the information of interest easily. Although it was originally intended that each monograph contain only information about a single excipient, it rapidly became clear that some substances or groups of substances should be discussed together. This gave rise to such monographs as ‘Coloring Agents’ and ‘Hydrocarbons’. In addition, some materials have more than one monograph depending on the physical characteristics of the material, e.g. Starch versus Pregelatinized Starch. Regardless of the complexity of the monograph they are all divided into 22 sections as follows:

1. Nonproprietary Names

2. Synonyms
