Page 288 - ATP-P 11th Ed

Preface
1. The following is a list of medications mentioned in the Tactical Medical Emergency
Protocols. However, most of the TMEPs have a preferred medication recommendation
and then an alternate one. All of these recommendations are listed here.
2. The CEB and RB recognize that a “one size fits all” approach to a strict formulary is
unrealistic due to medication availability, mission requirements, etc. The list of medica-
tions is designed to guide the ATP in medication selection.
3. For specific order of the recommended medications and specific TMEP application of
the medications, CHECK the specific TMEP Protocol.
4. Antibiotics: Always check potential drug allergies. If allergic to one class of medica-
tions, use alternate class of medications (cephalosporins/penicillins, tetracyclines, qui-
nolones, macrolides).
5. Unless specifically noted, the drug dosages listed are for an adult.
