The Homœopathic Pharmacopœia of the United States

What Is The HPUS, continued

When new monographs or other material are added, or existing parts of the compendium are changed, the Revision Service may be updated by the publication of additional pages (for new material) or replacement pages (for revised material) in lieu of reprinting an entirely new volume. The updated pages will be sent to all persons who subscribe to the Revision Service. The subscriber is obligated to ensure that the updated pages are inserted into the subscriber's binder(s) and the outdated pages are discarded. A master copy of the Revision Service, along with all updated and outdated pages, is maintained by the HPCUS.

The Revision Service, appropriately updated, thus constitutes the official compendium of homeopathy. To be consistent with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the official name of the Revision Service is the "Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States/Revision Service." The official abbreviation is "HPRS."

The HPUS Revision Service is produced from the standpoint of safety, efficacy, and standardization, and also establishes tables that identify those remedies that are potentially toxic, and indicate minimum potency levels in which those remedies may be sold.
