Explanatory Notes
When the strength of a drug is specified in terms of a
selected salt or ester, this is mentioned in brackets; when
it
refers to the active moiety, the name of the salt or ester in
brackets is preceded by the word "as".
Many drugs included in the list are preceded by a box (¤) to
indicate that they represent an example of a therapeutic
group and that various drugs could serve as alternatives. It
is imperative that this is understood when drugs are selected
at national level, since choice is then influenced by the
comparative cost and availability of equivalent products.
Examples of acceptable substitutions include:
¤ Hydrochlorothiazide: any other thiazide-type diuretic
currently
in broad clinical use.
¤ Hydralazine: any other peripheral vasodilator having an
antihypertensive effect.
¤ Senna: any stimulant laxative (either synthetic or of plant
origin).
¤ Sulfadiazine: any other short-acting, systemically active
sulfonamide unlikely to cause crystalluria.
Numbers in parentheses following drug names indicate:
(1) Drugs subject to international control under: (a) the
Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961); (b) the
Convention
on Psychotropic Substances (1971); or (c) the
United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic
Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988).
(2) Specific expertise, diagnostic precision,
individualization
of dosage or special equipment required for proper use.
(3) Greater potency or efficacy.
(4) In renal insufficiency, contraindicated or dosage
adjustments
necessary.
(5) To improve compliance.
(6) Special pharmacokinetic properties.
(7) Adverse effects diminish benefit/risk ratio.
(8) Limited indications or narrow spectrum of activity.
(9) For epidural anaesthesia.
(10) Sustained-release preparations are available. A proposal
to include such a product in a national list of essential
drugs should be supported by adequate documentation.
(11) Monitoring of therapeutic concentrations in plasma can
improve safety and efficacy.
Letters in parentheses following the drug names indicate the
reasons for the inclusion of complementary drugs:
(A) When drugs in the main list cannot be made available.
(B) When drugs in the main list are known to be ineffective
or
inappropriate for a given individual.
(C) For use in rare disorders or in exceptional
circumstances.
(D) Reserve antimicrobials to be used only when there is
significant resistance to other drugs on the list.
Drugs are listed in alphabetical order.
