This is a list of simple and compound medicine issued by the Dutch government for use by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and Dutch West India Company (WIC), who had troops stationed abroad. They could be used in the hospitals of Dutch garrisons with fewer than 3000 men. The medicines could be prepared on site following the The Hague pharmacopoeia of 1738 – which was a Latin text that was the official source for the municipality of the Hague in the Netherlands.
