 Foreword:

The first Essential Drug List and Guidelines was issued in the year 1998.
The Essential Drug concept was adopted in developing the Essential Drug
List and Guidelines as one of the ways and means to ensure that the
pharmaceutical products included in the list are available when and where
they are needed.
Furthermore, the list helps to reduce the number of drugs and to lower the
cost.
Essential Drugs are crucial to the success of health programs; the drugs are
part of the final link between health services.
For all the above reasons, it was very important to update the Essential
Drug List to comply with the strategy of the Ministry of Health and
Population (MOHP) .

"Health for all " is the ultimate goal of all endeavors of MOHP.
For the sake of patients we do our best to ensure safety, efficacy, quality,
and affordability of drugs.
I would like to express my deep thanks and appreciation to all experts who
participated in updating the list, revising the text, and made the final
editing.

My sincere thanks are also extended to the experts who

prepared the first edition.

Prof. Dr. Hatem El Gabaly
 INTRODUCTION

For the optimal use of the limited financial resources for health in developing countries the
availability of drugs must be restricted to those proven to be therapeutically effective, to
have acceptable safety and to satisfy the health needs of the population. These selected
drugs are labeled "Essential" indicating they are the basic and necessary group of agents
that are needed to meet the health needs of the population.
The primary concept behind the use of the list of essential drugs is to reduce the number of
drugs available. This will assist in the monitoring of the quality and availability of drugs in
order to avoid waste and to concentrate on the pharmaceutical agents within Egypt.

The advantages of an essential drug list are:

1. Reduced number of pharmaceutical products.
2. Reduced cost.
3. Improved procurement, storage and distribution and local availability.
4. Fewer drugs for quality control.
5. Training is easier with fewer drugs.
6. Improvement in the quality of drug utilization, management, information
and monitoring.
7. Providing a stimulus to the local pharmaceutical industries to supply essential,
generically labeled drugs, which will reduce expenditures and minimize drug
importation.
The aim of the "Essential Drug Committee" is to establish an up-to-date, essential drug
list for different levels of health care in Egypt. Every drug is identified using a coding
system that assigns that drug to a specific health care level. For each generic name, the
health care level is placed on the right side of the page framed within a black box.
The levels are:

1: for use by all medical professionals.

2: for use only by medical specialist and consultant physicians.
3: for use only by consultant physicians.
The drugs selected for this list are described both using generic and brand names to
facilitate the selection of the most appropriate drug product. In selection these factors were
considered:
• Source of raw material.
• Innovator or generic.
• Organoleptic properties.
• Stability (Accelerated, real time, climatic zone).
• Bioavilability and bioequivalence.
 • Drug history (benefit/risk ratio).
• Cost.

This multi-level essential drug list has these characteristics :

• Consistent with the pattern of prevalent diseases.

• Simple drugs are always selected. Combinations of drugs are limited.
• Contains a common core with universal relevance and application.
• Indicates priorities in drug needs.
• Contains drugs, which are available at all times in adequate amounts and
in the proper dosage forms at a suitable price.
• Flexible enough to meet the changing priorities in health care. The chosen drugs are
Written in generic and taken into consideration in selecting a brand are
illustrated.
•The different levels were assigned on the bases of the requirements of working
physicians in various care settings.

The Arrangement of the updated Essential Drug List:

Part 1 (page 1-18) contains the National Essential Drug List (EDL) under its
Nonproprietary names (Generics).
Part 2 (page 1 - 137) contains monographs on non-proprietary drugs of the list arranged
under therapeutic categories. Each monograph includes basic information such as
indications, side effects, contraindications, interactions, precautions and doses.
Part 3 (page 1 - 31) contains proprietary names of generics that are included in the essen-
tial drug list. For the proprietary preparations, the information provided includes the trade
name, the manufacturer, units in one pack, dosage form, and the retail price.
