Abstract
THE direction of the policy which is being adopted in the compilation of war-time formulae for medicinal preparations is indicated by the nature of the recommendations recently made by the British Pharmaceutical Codex Revision Committee. It may well be that there is little need to replace all those drugs now unobtainable by alternative substances. On the other hand, it is very desirable that authoritative guidance should be given to prescribers as to substitutes for at least some of the scarce or unobtainable drugs, and also as to the best combinations in which to present them. This duty falls upon several bodies recognized as being properly constituted for the purpose, and one such is the Codex Revision Committee.
