About the List of Approved Medicines (LAM)

List of Approved Medicines (LAM) - 1 April 2012 (PDF, 1.86MB) is the official statewide formulary for medicines approved for use in all Queensland Health public hospitals and institutions.

Medicines are listed in the LAM in alphabetical order, using their generic names, with restrictions that have been applied to their use, along with PBS details including restrictions, where applicable. (Note: the LAM does NOT include all medicines listed on the PBS).

The LAM also contains important policies related to ordering and use of medicines in its introductory section, as well as relevant information in a number of Appendices. This document is updated every 2 months.

Notes

To keep section file sizes at 1MB or less, LAM topics contained in each section may change each time the LAM is issued. Every effort is made to keep the content within each section consistent, but sometimes this may not be possible.
The sections in the table below are linked together to act as a complete LAM document. Each section has a table of contents, which you can use to browse the entire LAM. This only applies if you're browsing on the web - if you save a section to your computer, you may lose the ability to browse the complete LAM.
