United Sates National Formulary (USNF 24) will be included

- Extra
information will inevitably lead to larger book and we may publish in 2
volumes. If this is the case we would like to take the opportunity to
increase the size of the text across the book to make it easier to
read. Presentation in a slip case similar to Clarke or the British
Pharmacopoeia is a possibility.
*Russian
will be included in Cyrillic script and there will be a separate
Cyrillic index to allow these names to be looked up
