We have received a technical notice from MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) who provide us with our Library subscription to British Pharmacopoeia. On Friday 29th November MHRA will be discontinuing support for Windows 7. Please see further details below:
We are making upgrades to pharmacopoeia.com which will help to improve its stability and security. These upgrades will mean the site or some of its functionality will be unavailable at scheduled times while we complete the changes. Please continue to check this page for information on future upgrades.
Extended support from Microsoft for Windows 7 will end on 14 January 2020.
We intend to discontinue compatibility testing of the BP Download product with the Windows 7 operating system for future issues after 29 November 2019.
You will still be able to use Windows 7 for existing versions of the BP Download, but after January 2020, we will not be able to guarantee that BP Download products will provide full and reliable functionality on devices operating on the Windows 7 operating system. We will continue to test BP Download compatibility with other operating systems including Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.09, 10.10, 10.11 or 10.12 with a minimum of 4GB of memory (8GB recommended).
We recommend that users who wish to continue using the BP Download without any issue upgrade to a supported operating system.

From 29 November 2019, if you use unsupported versions of some browsers you may not be able to access the site. To continue accessing the site as normal, you will need to check your browser and take the necessary steps to update it.
