USP—NF/PF Online Spanish Edition

USP—NF/PF Spanish Edition is now available for Spanish speaking users to let them access information easily and quickly. The Spanish edition shows documents from USP43 – NF38 and subsequent publications. 

Language Toggle Option Both at Interface Level and at the Document Level

Users can buy subscriptions for English, Spanish, or for both English and Spanish. If a user buys both English and Spanish subscriptions, the user can toggle between the Spanish and English edition content.

Note: Some of the older monograph documents may not be available in Spanish. In that case, English version of that document is displayed.

The interface for the language select is located in the top right corner of your webpage in the menu bar
