Background
• The Provincial Parenteral Monographs (PPM) are approved by
the Provincial Medication Management Committee (PMMC) and
are maintained by Drug Information Services
• The new provincial monographs are a compilation of the diverse
parenteral monographs of the former health regions and Alberta
Cancer Board
• The new PPM is a convenient, accessible and reliable reference for
drug therapy guidelines and parenteral drug information
• The new provincial monographs are NOT a comprehensive
drug reference - if the information required is not found, consult
alternate sources (i.e. Drug Information Services:
http://insite.albertahealthservices.ca/1521.asp)
