Thread: Pharmacopoeia (plural)

There seem to be a lot of redundancies in the original sentence.

A formulary and a pharmacopoeia (pharmacopeia) are similar.

We say "formulas for compounding drugs" rather than "recipes," which pertain more to cooking food.

An antidote is a kind of d r u g. (See note below)

I'm not sure what "concordias" refers to here---maybe guidelines for usage?

I don't think that phamacopeias are published by schools in the US; they are probably published and regulated by a government agency.

Nevertheless, my attempt at a literal interpretation of the original sentence is:
A pharmacopeia is a collection of formulas, formularies, antidotes, and guidelines that is published by pharmaceutical schools.

I wonder if the actual intent is more like:
A pharmacopeia is a collection of formulas for compounding drugs and guidelines for d r u g usage that is used in pharmaceutical programs.

Note to forum monitors: The word d r u g keeps getting changed to ****. Plural (drugs) is ok for some reason.
