NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT

At the WHO/SPEC meeting in Suva, 4-8 December 1978, it was agreed that the South Pacific List of Essential Drugs, as adopted, be published and disseminated.

There was substantial discussion at the meeting, based on a combined list of drugs being used in five South Pacific countries, viz. Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Tonga. The list adopted by the meeting -

included a substantial number of the drugs of the WHO model list of essential drugs contained in WHO Technical Report Series No. 615;

excluded the remainder of the drugs of the WHO model list of essential drugs, because the demand for them in the South Pacific countries/areas is either non-existent or insignificant;

included a number of drugs not currently included in the WHO model list of essential drugs: these inclusions and the reasons for their inclusion are set out below; excluded a number of drugs not currently included in the WHO model list of essential drugs and which are being used in one or more of the South PaCific countries/areas, but which the meeting considered were not essential, not required or where the need for the drug can be more appropriately met by one of the drugs included in the South Pacific List of Essential Drugs.

General reasons for inclusion of drugs which are not in the WHO model list of essential drugs are:

A: current practice in one or more of the South Pacific countries/areas;

B: less expensive than other drugs used for the same purpose.

1. ·The South Pacific List of Essential Drugs is based on the WHO model list of essential drugs contained in the WHO Technical Report Series No. 615, "The selection of essential drugs". In compiling the list, due consideration was given to local experience and practice.

2. A plus sign (+) indicates the drugs which are included in the WHO model list of essential drugs, WHO Technical Report Series No. 615.

3. An asterisk (*) after a drug indicates it is a "complementary drug" in the WHO model list of essential drugs, WHO Technical Report Series No. 615. A complementary drug is defined as follows: "Drugs under this heading are not essential. They are added as examples of drugs that provide (a) alternatives when infectious organisms develop resistance to essential drugs, (b) treatment in rare disorders, and (c) special pharmacokinetic properties, etc.; they should be available as funds permit". 4. The numbers in parenthesis following certain drug names are quoted from the WHO Technical Report Series No. 615, as follows: (1) Listed as an example of this therepeutic category: choose cheapest effeotive drug product acceptable; (2) Specified expertise, diagnostic precision or special equipment required for proper use;

(3) Greater potenoy;

(4) Doeage adjustment neoessary for renal insufficiency;

(5) To improve oompliance;

(6) Best pharmaookinetio parameters for purpose;

(7) Adverse effects diminish benefit/risk ratiO; (8) Limited indications or narrow spectrum of activity;

(9) For epidural anaesthesia; (10) For disease or organisms resistant to the proposed drug(s).

5. International nonproprietary names (INN) for pharmaceutical SUbstances have been used in this list. In some cases commonly used synonyms (syn.) have also been included.

6. It is important that the South Paoific List of Essential Drugs be reviewed periodioally. 1 .!! !? ! ! - 3 -
