JC101/2001 ISBN 9970-719-00-9 Foreword It is my pleasure to present this revised and updated Essential Drugs list for Uganda (EDLU) 2001 to all prescribing and dispensing staff, and to other health professionals handling medicines in Uganda. This 3rd edition of EDLU has been produced in order to take account of the various changes which have taken place in therapeutic practice over the 5 year period since the last edition. Essential drugs are those which satisfy the needs of the majority of the population and should therefore always be available in adequate amounts and appropriate dose forms. EDLU lists those essential drugs considered to be the most appropriate for use in the Uganda public health system. It is also strongly recommended as a rational basis for private sector prescribing. In order to ensure that the correct decision is taken on whether to include a particular item or not, consideration must be made of a number of key criteria including: Efficacy: the capacity of the medicine effectively to treat the diagnosed condition Safety: the therapeutic index of the drug (ratio of treatment dose to toxic dose) and Page 1 of 31img.html 2007-05-17file://J:\DivData\ALLDOCS\MoniqueRenevier\COUNTRYlists\Uganda\Uganda_200. the nature, frequency and severity of expected side-effects Quality: compliance of the drug presentation with internationally accepted standards of purity, composition, and consistency Cost-effectiveness: considered in terms of available and effective alternative medicines or dose-forms Appropriateness: the overall suitability of the medicine within the local context taking account of various factors including: • Changing morbidity patterns • Stability in storage • Likely compliance with dose regime • Development of resistance • Type of dose form/method of administration • Socio-economic factors In preparing the new EDLU, these criteria have been carefully considered by the Committee on Essential Drugs (CED), assisted as required by experts in the various medical specialities. Drug lists by their very nature are subject to rapid obsolescence due to ever-changing therapeutic requirements for the treatment of conditions found in Uganda. A good example of this is the treatment of malaria which has had to be revised recently to take account of rapidly developing resistance to previous first-line medication. Thus the list should be subject to constant scrutiny and updated accordingly. This process is highly dependent on the input of clinicians in the field who should therefore continuously assess the appropriateness of the selected medicines for treating the conditions encountered. Clinicians are encouraged to submit proposals for amendments to EDLU following the procedures given in the Preface. The EDLU is a guide for drug selection and level of distribution and is meant to be used together with the National Standard Clinical Guidelines (NSCG) which give practical guidance on diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic approaches. Both publications are also useful resource materials for training in all aspects of rational drug use. I wish to thank the Chairman and members of the National Drug Authority Committee on Essential Drugs for the time and effort they have put into the production of this excellent and vital document. It is my sincere hope that routine use of the EDLU in combination with the NSCG by all levels of prescriber in their daily work will greatly assist in ensuring that patients receive optimum treatment of their health problems at all times. However this will only be possible if adequate quantities of the recommended drugs are constantly available for utilisation at the appropriate level of health unit. The Ministry of Health is therefore committed to improving accessibility to required essential drugs through active implementation of the new National Drug Policy which aims inter alia at securing adequate funding of essential drugs procurement and improved management of the drug supply system at all levels.

Background to EDLU 2001 The first and second editions of EDLU were produced in 1991 and 1996 respectively. As with these previous editions which it now supersedes, this new EDLU 2001 is produced with the aim of assisting in making accessible and affordable to the majority of the population those drugs which are necessary for the prevention and treatment of common health problems in the country. The EDLU lists those essential drugs considered to be most suitable for current use in Uganda. The current WHO model list (11th revision December 1999) was used as a basis for EDLU and modified to suit the requirements of Uganda according to the criteria given in the Foreword by the Honourable Minister of Health, and taking into account available resources and currently applicable clinical practice. According to the National Drug Policy the EDLU is a ‘primary drug management tool at all levels of the health system’ and is intended to ‘to strengthen and harmonise the essential drugs selection process at national and district levels for both public and private sectors’. The EDLU should be used ‘as a basis for procurement, prescribing and dispensing in the public health system and its use promoted in the private (profit and non-profit) sector’. Thus it is important to stress that, although the list is designed primarily for public sector use, it is equally appropriate for private sector prescribers who are strongly encouraged to select EDLU drugs whenever possible. Numerous changes have been made to EDLU to bring it into line with currently accepted therapeutic requirements. These are summarised on pages xix-xxvi. 2. Amendment of EDLU 2001 As stated in the Foreword, the EDLU will be subject to constant review and revision. All clinicians should therefore fully familiarise themselves with the contents of the EDLU and continuously evaluate its relevance and appropriateness to their daily work. Proposals for amendments to EDLU, together with supporting arguments and any available relevant literature, should be forwarded in writing to: The Chairman National Drug Authority Committee on Essential Drugs PO Box 23096, Kampala Tel: 255665 / 255628 / 347391 / 347392 Fax: 255758 Email nda@imul.com According to the National Drug Policy, the EDLU is supposed to be revised at least every three years, thus the next edition should be produced by 2004. In the meantime, any proposals will be discussed by the Committee on Essential Drugs. Agreed amendments to the list will be notified to all prescribers through Ministry of Health circulars as appropriate. 3.

Preparation of this vital publication would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of my fellow contributing members of the Committee on Essential Drugs who are listed on pages xv-xvi and without the invaluable contributions of the key clinical specialists listed on page xvii. I wish to express my sincere thanks to them all for their time and efforts. I am also greatly indebted to the Chairman and Executive Secretary / Registrar of NDA for facilitating the completion of this work through the provision of a most suitable and supportive working environment and to the NDA Secretariat staff for their continuous technical and administrative support.

Head, Dept. of Orthopaedics, Makerere Medical School, Mulago Hospital, Kampala Presentation of Information 1. General Drug names: the relevant International Non-proprietary Name (INN) or generic name are used throughout the list. According to the National Drug Policy and Authority Statute 1993 sec 12 generic names shall be used for prescribing and labelling (ie. including dispensing) of drugs, except where no such generic or suitable alternative non-proprietary name exists. Order of sections: drugs are arranged in alphabetical order by pharmacological / therapeutic groups following the same basic arrangement as the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs with the addition of two additional sections: 28: Ear, Nose and Oropharyngeal Preparations and 29: Drugs for Neurosurgical Use. 2. Level of Use For each item the lowest level of health care facility at which the item may be used is indicated as shown in the table below. This designation is in line with the diagnostic and clinical skills expected to be available at that level. In certain cases the use of an item is further restricted to facilities where a specific type of clinical and/or diagnostic expertise is available, eg. certain ophthalmological preparations. The in-charge of each level of Health Centre is given in parentheses. Notes: 1. Diagnostic facilities: Health facilities of levels HC3 and higher have different degrees of laboratory diagnostic support facilities available. 2. Drug availability: all of the items listed for health centre levels up to and including H (Hospital) level are expected to be available at all times from National Medical Stores. More specialised items with an R (Restricted) or Ref (Referral) designation will be available from NMS only at the request of the relevant institution. It is therefore important that accurate estimates for the annual requirements for these items are made by the institutions concerned well in advance and the information forwarded to NMS so that sufficient quantities of the required items may be procured and held in stock. Abbreviations and Units HC1 = Health Centre 1 (Community Level) HC2 = Health Centre 2 (Enrolled Comprehensive Nurse) HC3 = Health Centre 3 (Clinical Officer) HC4 = Health Centre 4 (Medical Officer) H = Hospital R = Restricted Use (ie. needs high level diagnostic/clinical skills only available in specialised institutions, eg.
