Best Answer

In hospitals, formulary medications are jointly approved in a Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee by both Medical and Pharmacy staff, with input from specific medical specialists as needed . Choice of medications are based on safety/adverse effect profiles, level of effectiveness, use based on best practice evidence-based studies, and a cost-effective review of risk/benefit comparing older, less expensive meds to newer drugs entering the market.
