Non-Medicinal Ingredients Nomenclature

Help on accessing alternative formats, such as Portable Document Format (PDF), Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (PPT) files, can be obtained in the alternate format help section.

Contact: Bureau of Policy Science and International Programs

The following nomenclature is proposed for use on labels, in product monographs, and in other printed material wherever the disclosure of non-medicinal ingredients is required. The use of this list by manufacturers is encouraged in order to maintain uniformity and therefore to prevent confusion. The names are easily recognizable by the health professional or consumer or can be found in readily available literature.

The use of abbreviations has been limited and any further abbreviation is not recommended. Nomenclature for colouring agents is included at the end of this listing along with several examples of naming lakes.

The list includes most of the ingredients currently used in drug and cosmetic formulations. Inclusion of a name in this list does not in any way imply acceptability for use in all human drug and cosmetic products. This list is to be used as a guide for nomenclature only. The following publications are suggested as possible sources of appropriate ingredient nomenclature for those materials not included in the list:

International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary published by The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association

USP dictionary of USAN and International Drug Names published by The United Sates Pharmacopeial Convention Inc.

Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients published by The American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington and by The Pharmaceutical Press, London
