Essential Drugs List- Fourth Revision 2003- Federal Republic of Nigeria

Publication date: 2003

Essential Drugs List - Fourth Revision 2003 - Federal Republic of Nigeria Published by The Federal Ministry of Health Abuja, Nigeria. In Collaboration with World Health Organization I. FOREWORD It gives me a great pleasure to write the Foreword for this Fourth Revision of the National Essential Drugs List. This revised edition is the product of the hard work of the National Drug Formulary/Essential Drugs Review Committee, which was inaugurated in September 1999. The establishment of the Committee is in compliance with the Decree 43 of 1989 later amended by Decree 13 of 1992. I commend the doggedness and perseverance of the Chairman and members of the Committee in producing this document in spite of constraints of facilities and funding. I also commend the Country Office of the World Health Organisation (WHO) for contributing technically and financially towards the conclusion of this work. I am particularly thankful to WHO for undertaking to print of 50,000 copies of the EDL. This will ensure its wide circulation. As I have declared at every available opportunity, the intensification of the war against fake drugs is one of the five-action health agenda of the Obasanjo administration whose first term will expire in a few months from now. Nigerians are the best judges to assess whether we have kept faith on this agenda. The widespread acclaim of the activities of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) under its current management team is sufficient proof that we have matched our word with positive action in this regard. While the war is yet to be totally won, we are definitely on the right course to winning it. The adoption of an Essential Drugs List is a key strategy for achieving one of the goals of the National Drug Policy which is to make available at all times, in adequate dosage forms, drugs that satisfy the health care needs of the majority of the population at all levels of the health care delivery system. The adoption of the list of essential drugs is also a factor in the promotion of rational use of drugs, another key element of our Drug Policy. All these accord with the cardinal health agenda of this administration of eradicating fake drugs from our health care system. This is because with the adoption of a limited drugs list, the administration, regulation and control of drugs can be done more effectively and efficiently. As revealed by a recent survey, the circulation of the Essential Drugs List has not been as wide as it should be, particularly at the primary health care level. This shall no longer be so with this revised edition. My Ministry will ensure that the document is circulated as widely as possible to all the three tiers of our health care delivery system. I however wish to advise all Chief Executives of our tertiary hospitals, state ministries of Health as well as local Government health departments that only drugs on the EDL are procured, stored and used in their respective health institutions in compliance with the enabling law. My Ministry will monitor compliance strictly. In conclusion, I commend this important document to all stakeholders in the health sector: health care professionals and those who train them in our institutions of higher learning, professional associations/societies, drug manufacturers as well as Non-governmental organisations working in health.

PREFACE TO THE FOURTH REVISION It is my honour and privilege to write the preface to this fourth revision of the Essential Drugs List for the Nigerian public health care system. This fourth revision is much delayed due to several constraints. The National Drug Formulary and Essential Drugs List Review Committee has been working constantly on this revision since 2000. This fourth revision is the product of several reviews. This edition has also taken care of the current concerns in the management of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) and malaria. The reader may also discover that new internationally accepted names of some drugs, formulations and dosage forms have been adopted. Essential Drugs have been defined as those drugs that satisfy the health care needs of the majority of the population. They should therefore be available at all times in adequate amounts and in appropriate dosage forms at all levels of the health care delivery system of the country. The Essential Drugs Programme of the Federal Republic of Nigeria came on stream in 1988 and received legal backing when in 1989 Decree 43 was promulgated. That same year the first Revision was published. The second revision soon followed in 1991 and the third in 1996. The programme and its legal instrument came under severe criticism by the Drug Manufacturing/Distribution concerns as well as several health practitioners for obvious reasons as the impression was created that whatever drug was not included in the list could neither be imported nor used legally. The amendment to this decree that appeared in 1992, limiting the provision of the earlier decree to the Public Sector only, had the salutary effect of removing the pressure on the programme as well as on those who implemented it. The expected advantages of an Essential Drugs Programme include: - Limiting the number of drugs deployed in the health care system, - Creating opportunity for the provision of concise, accurate and comprehensive information in the form of a National Drug Formulary on all the drugs in the essential drugs list, - Improving the knowledge of prescribers regarding the pharmacological properties of the prescribed drugs thus improving the quality of drug - Improving drug utilisation by the various sectors of the health care system through better monitoring. Sound policy, legislation and en essential drugs programme that includes education of health professionals and patients in rational use of drugs are measures that should ensure better health care in all countries. The National Drug Formulary and Essential Drugs Review Committee working with Page 2 of 40img.html 2007-05-17file://J:\DivData\ALLDOCS\MoniqueRenevier\EMLs from countries\Nigeria\EDL_2. the Food and Drugs Services in collaboration with the World Health Organisation have worked out the modalities of ensuring that this fourth revised edition gets to the authorities and individuals that the programme is intended for and ensuring maximum derivation of the advantages of the essential drugs programme. In this revision there are no drugs marked for deletion as all drugs so labelled in the third revision have been appropriately taken care of. There are fewer drugs in this list than in the third revision. About one hundred and fifty drugs and dosage forms have been deleted. The newly added drugs or dosage forms number about fifty. A new restricted list has been appended. These drugs are considered essential for specialist and tertiary health care facilities and need to be available for the Public Health Care system. A reviewed list for Primary Health Care is included as well as the list of products suggested to be stocked and sold by Patent Medicine Dealers/Vendors. The current National Drug Formulary and Essential Drugs List (NDF/EDL) Review committee inherited a revised but unpublished National Drug Formulary which needs to be reviewed in line with this fourth revision of the Essential Drugs List. It is hoped that this exercise will soon take place to ensure that this important component of the Essential Drugs Programme is fully achieved in Nigeria. We are encouraged by the support given to the Federal Ministry of Health in the area of Essential Medicines. We hope that the proposed interest in the development of the Standard Treatment Guidelines proposed by the immediate past chairman of the NDF/EDL Review Committee shall be followed by the necessary motions to put Nigeria in line with countries with a viable Health Care delivery system for their peoples.
