Physicians who prescribe Pharmacopeial or National -Formulary drugs or preparations, therefore, are more likely to obtain a -good and constant quality than if they prescribe unofficial articles, -i.e., articles that have no legalized standard. Hence medical men are -interested in knowing what drugs and preparations are included in these -two books of standards. Both the Pharmacopeia and the National -Formulary, however, contain a vast amount of technical information, of -value to pharmacists but of little interest to physicians. The Journal -of the American Medical Association in 1907 issued the "Physicians' -Manual of the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary," a book designed -to meet the needs of physicians in this respect. The fact that this book -did meet a real need is evidenced by the continued demand for it. - -The present "Epitome of the U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Formulary" -takes the place of that book, but is based on the new (the ninth) -revision of the Pharmacopeia and the new (the fourth) edition of the -National Formulary. It has been prepared under the direction of a -committee appointed by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the -American Medical Association. The aim has been to include all the matter -in the Pharmacopeia and National Formulary which is likely to be of -interest to physicians. This, it is believed, consists of the official -titles and their abbreviations; synonyms; brief definitions; when -necessary, concise descriptions of the physical properties; and dosage. -Since both the Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary include many -drugs and preparations which are irrational, superfluous or worthless, -in many cases the medical members of the committee have added brief -comments to aid a discriminating selection of therapeutic agents. - -In this epitome drugs are arranged alphabetically by Pharmacopeial or -National Formulary titles; preparations of drugs are placed under the -drugs themselves. Thus Tinctura Digitalis is placed not among the Ts, -but among the Ds under Digitalis. Names of drugs are in black-face type; -names of preparations are in light-face italics. An index is added to -assist in ready reference. - -Statements of composition refer in some cases to percentage by volume, -in others to percentage by weight, and in still others to percentage by -weight-volume--that is, the weight of a given chemical contained (or the -weight of a given vegetable drug represented by extractives) in 100 Cc. -of the preparation. It has not been thought worth while to indicate -whether the statement in each case is by volume, weight or -weight-volume, since the differences are too small to have any -therapeutic importance. Statements of alcoholic content refer to -percentage by volume and are approximate only. In a few instances in -which the quantity of alcohol in a dose is small, or in which the -preparation is intended for external use, the alcohol content is not -stated. - -DOSAGE statements, when followed by the letters "U.S.P." or "N.F.," are -taken from these books, respectively, and are understood to be the -average adult doses. In some cases in which this statement was felt to -be inadequate or unsatisfactory, further suggestions as to dosage have -been added. - - - - -PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION - - -The text of this edition is the same as that of the first, except that a -few typographical errors which were in the first edition have been -corrected. - -The new edition differs from the first in the following particulars: - -In the first edition, a star indicates that the drug is included in the -second (1916) edition of Useful Drugs. To bring the present edition up -to date, the star (*) here indicates that the drug is included in the -fifth (1921) edition of Useful Drugs. - -In compliance with the opinion expressed by some that a more complete -index would be helpful, the index to the second edition has been -materially extended. It is hoped that this will help to familiarize -those who purchase the book with its contents. - - - - -TABLES OF METRIC AND APOTHECARIES' WEIGHTS AND MEASURES - - -METRIC MEASURES OF WEIGHT - - 1 Milligram (1 mg.) = 0.001 gram. - 1 Centigram = 0.01 gram. - 1 Decigram = 0.1 gram. - 1 Gram (1 Gm.) = 1.[A] - 1 Decagram = 10 grams. - 1 Hektogram = 100 grams. - 1 Kilogram (1 kg.) = 1000 grams.[B] - - A: The weight of 1 cubic centimeter of water at 4 C. - - B: The weight of 1 cubic decimeter of water at 4 C. - - -METRIC FLUID MEASURE - - 1 Milliliter (1 cubic centimeter, 1 Cc.) = 0.001 cubic decimeter. - 1 Centiliter (10 Cc.) = 0.01 cubic decimeter. - 1 Deciliter (100 Cc.) = 0.1 cubic decimeter. - 1 Liter (1000 Cc.) = 1 cubic decimeter. - - -APOTHECARIES' WEIGHT - - 20 Grains = 1 scruple. - 3 Scruples = 1 drachm. - 8 Drachms = 1 ounce. - 12 Ounces = 1 pound. - - -APOTHECARIES' FLUID MEASURE - - 60 Minims = 1 fluidrachm. - 8 Fluidrachms = 1 fluidounce. - 16 Fluidounces = 1 pint. - - -EQUIVALENTS OF APOTHECARIES' WEIGHT IN METRIC - - 1 Grain = 0.06479895 Gm. - 1 Drachm = 3.8879369 Gm. - 1 Ounce = 31.1034956 Gm. - 1 Pound = 373.241948 Gm. - - -EQUIVALENTS OF APOTHECARIES' FLUID MEASURE IN METRIC - - 1 Minim = 0.06161 Cc. - 1 Fluidrachm = 3.6966 Cc. - 1 Fluidounce = 29.573 Cc. - 1 Pint = 473.17 Cc. - - -EQUIVALENTS OF METRIC WEIGHT IN APOTHECARIES' - - 0.001 Gm.
