Is b4 a drug?
There is insufficient information to determine anything about (b)(4) USP.
Who is the letter from? who is the letter dircted to?
The writer and the reciever will have a list of products that correspond.

It's from the letter I posted in the thread titled "the Mood of the Letter..." An FDA letter.

@oristarA,
Yes I know that It is from the letter now. There is still not enough information.
(b)(4) USP may be a compound or an ingredient, a ready to use drug, a food additive such as a preservative or colouring or other food additive. It really could be many things.

Thank you.

I wonder why the grammatical form of a compound is not USP (b)(4) but (b)(4) USP. Since USP refers to United States Pharmacopoeia.

English is not algebra; there does not have to be one single rule governing how abbreviations and references are formed. Clearly the standard style adopted by the United States Pharmacopoeia is as you see.
