hospital formulary

A hospital formulary is a list of medications that a hospital has approved for use. It serves as a guide for doctors and pharmacists to ensure that the most effective and safest drugs are prescribed to patients. This list is based on clinical evidence, effectiveness, and safety profiles, and it helps manage resources efficiently. By having a formulary, hospitals can also ensure that staff is familiar with the medications available, facilitating better patient care and reducing the risk of medication errors.
