Formularies are lists of antibiotics that are suggested for certain healthcare settings. In developing a recommended formulary, countries should consider the needs of patients and facilities where they receive care.

Efforts to create antibiotic formularies may be linked to efforts within countries to create or update essential medicine lists (EML).
