E-DRUG: Updating National Formularies - frequency
--------------------------------------------
Dear Brian
The OECS/PPS, a regional procurement agency of 20 years, meets yearly
through its Therapeutic Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting to revise the
formulary list regarding items to be deleted or added.
We are currently revising our 6th formulary manual with the
assistance/input of other pharmacists, physicians and specialists .
This manual is re-printed every 3 years to maintain costs.
The formulary list is used as guidance for products available through
the procurement ageny/public sector supply chain and health care
professionals may refer to accepted texts like the BNF for detailed
information on monograghs edited/added annually.
