Which drugs are required to meet United States Pharmacopoeia standards?

All drugs sold in the US
Those mentioned in the USP or Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the US
Only prescription drugs
Drugs not mentioned in any pharmacopoeia

The correct answer is: Those mentioned in the USP or Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the US

The United States Pharmacopoeia, or USP, sets quality standards for medicines and other healthcare products that are sold in the United States. These standards help ensure the safety, quality, and effectiveness of medications. Option A, All drugs sold in the US, is incorrect because not all drugs sold in the US are required to meet USP standards. Option C, Only prescription drugs, is also incorrect, as both prescription and over-the-counter drugs are required to meet USP standards. Option D, Drugs not mentioned in any pharmacopoeia, is also incorrect because all drugs that are sold in the US are required to adhere to USP standards, even if they are not specifically mentioned in the USP or Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the US. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as drugs mentioned in the USP or Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the US are required to meet USP standards.
