Lääkeluettelo laaditaan ottaen huomioon lääkelain 3 §:n ja 5 §:n säännökset. Lääkkeellä tarkoitetaan valmistetta tai ainetta, jonka tarkoituksena on sisäisesti tai ul- koisesti käytettynä parantaa, lievittää tai ehkäistä sairautta tai sen oireita ihmisessä tai eläi- messä. Lääkkeeksi katsotaan myös sisäisesti tai ulkoisesti käytettävä aine tai aineiden yh- distelmä, jota voidaan käyttää ihmisen tai eläimen elintoimintojen palauttamiseksi, kor- jaamiseksi tai muuttamiseksi farmakologisen, immunologisen tai metabolisen vaikutuk- sen avulla taikka terveydentilan tai sairauden syyn selvittämiseksi. Lääkeluettelo ei ole tyhjentävä. Tässä luettelossa mainitsemattomat aineet ja rohdokset, jotka täyttävät lääkelain lääkkeen määritelmän, ovat lääkkeitä. Lääkeluettelon vahvistamisen lisäksi Lääkealan turvallisuus- ja kehittämiskeskus päättää lääkelain 6 §:n nojalla tarvittaessa, onko ainetta tai valmistetta pidettävä lääkkeenä. Keskus päättää tapauskohtaisesti onko luettelossa olevaa ainetta sisältävää valmistetta pidettävä lääk- keenä

    DESA The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global and policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.
