The Danish Maritime Authority and Radio Medical have compiled a list of alternative medicines that may be used if it is not possible to procure the prescribed medications. It must be emphasized that the use of these alternatives is strictly an emergency measure. Therefore, the correct medication must be obtained as soon as possible.
The list is available for download in Excel format and includes a user guide as well as labels for the medications.
If it is impossible to procure the medications required for the medical chest or those found on the aforementioned list, please contact the Centre for Maritime Health Services (CMS).
For further inquiries, please contact CMS via email at cms@dma.dk or by phone at +45 7219 6004.
