Is the US Pharmacopeia trustworthy?

I found a site called the US Pharmacopeia, is it trustworthy?
If it is, this is a great find for me.

That is not <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Pharmacopeia" target="_blank"><u>The</u> U.S. Pharmacopeia</a> <img src="../scipics/_wiki.png" />. That is a website from China with the title "US Pharmacopeia" (.cn is the top level domain {TLD} for China). I'm unsure of it's trustworthiness, but If it's not simply plagiarized, expect translation errors.

[edit] As a general rule, I don't trust any site that interferes with text selection and copy-paste.

Ok, I will expect errors. Are you saying it is trustworthy, though?

No, you should use this site: http://www.usp.org/ This is the official site.
