Differences Between The Nomenclature Of the London Pharmacopoeia and the British Pharmacopoeia
The following Table exhibits the more important differences between the nomenclature of the London Pharmacopoeia, 1851, and the British Pharmacopoeia, 1864. The substances represented by the names which stand opposite to one another in the columns of the table, are, for all practical purposes, identical. The second division of the table indicates those alterations in the strength of preparations of sufficient importance to render them essential to be borne in mind in prescribing. Many minor differences of strength will be discovered, depending on the alteration in the value of the solid ounce; but even when these occur in the preparations of the more active medicines, they will not materially influence the doses, being far less than those due to the varying qualities of drugs:
