HPCUS

The Homœopathic Pharmacopœia Convention of the United States (HPCUS) is a non-governmental, non-profit scientific organization composed of experts in the fields of medicine, arts, biology, botany, chemistry and pharmacy who have had appropriate training and experience and have demonstrated additional knowledge and interest in the principles of homeopathy.

The Convention is an autonomous body which works closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and homeopathic organizations notably the American Institute of Homeopathy and the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists. Guidelines are published for the prescriptions or over-the-counter status of homeopathic drug products.

The Homœopathic Pharmacopœia of the United States (HPUS) standardizes the substances and methods of preparation for remedies which can be sold as homeopathic remedies.
