TAXONOMY AND GLOSSARY

USPS EXPERT COMMITTEES ON PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORMS (PDF) BIOPHARMACEUTICS (BPC) and NOMENCLATURE and LABELING (NL) are WORKING TOGETHER TO PREPARE A TAXONOMY AND GLOSSARY OF OFFICIAL DOSAGE FORMS. A STIMULUS ARTICLE WILL SOON BE PUBLISHED IN PF.

USP Expert Committee on Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms

Categories of Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms A Taxonomy Proposal

The taxonomy charts given here only incorporate dosage forms that are actually named in monogrphs of the USP/NF.

FIRST TIER Delineated by the tissues to which the active is first delivered by the dosage form. SECOND TIER The criterion for this grouping is based on the general type of dosage form involved. THIRD TIER Individual dosage forms grouped depending on the release pattern of the active.

NOTE: In some dosage forms it may be advisable to preface titles with a descriptor. For example Topical Cream, Vaginal Insert or Otic Solution.

Conventional release

Modified release

(immediate release)

Extended release
[Slower rate]

Delayed release

* Use of conventional release is encouraged.

The term immediate has been widely used in place of the less misleading and more appropriate term conventional with reference to dosage form nomenclature.

[Delayed onset]

Targeted release
[Specific organ/tissue]

Pulsatile release
[Fractions released at time intervals]

CONCLUSIONS


OVER THE YEARS, USP HAS CONVERTED OFFICIAL TITLES OF DOSAGE FORMS: FROM THOSE INDICATING THE FORMULATION AND/OR METHOD OF MANUFACTURE TO THOSE DESCRIBING THE FINISHED PRODUCT IN TERMS BELIEVED TO BE MORE USEFUL TO THE PRESCRIBER, DISPENSER AND THE PATIENT.
USPC2000 29 Job # 6/14/2011 12:29:03 PM

CONCLUSIONS


BY ADDING THE ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION TO THE TITLE. I.E. OPHTHALMIC; OTIC; NASAL; VAGINAL; RECTAL and TOPICAL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE TYPE OF PACKAGING AND LABELING MAY BECOME A MORE SIGNIFICANT PLAYER IN DESIGNING DOSAGE FORM TITLES.
