A Proposed Formulary Based on the Identification of Medications Determined by Diagnoses/Problems in a Troop Medical Clinic During Calendar Year 1983

Abstract

This study examined the most frequent diagnoses attended to by physicians in a troop medical clinic to compile a standard medication formulary. Sixty percent of the diagnoses encountered in this study fell into five general categories: respiratory, gastrointestinal, ENT, musculoskeletal and dermatological. Based on the frequency of use, most troop medical clinic pharmacies stock medications that are rarely used. This study identifies a standard formulary for use in troop medical clinic pharmacies. Keywords: Medications; Formulary; Drug inventory.
