  • Medicaid Policy Change
    MEDICAID POLICY CHANGE IMMINENT PERIL JUSTIFICATION September 25, 2019 ADVAIR: POLICY CHANGE: LDH is changing the preferred drug list to switch the diskus inhaled powder from preferred to non-preferred and adding the HFA inhaler to the preferred list instead. JUSTIFICATION: This product is used to control symptoms and prevent complications caused by asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This change is necessary to make an easier delivery device available for recipients to aid with treatment. Without preferred status, recipients would be required to obtain prior authorization which could delay necessary treatment. This change is needed by 10/1/19 due to the coming seasonal change in weather, including influenza and allergy season, that can significantly exacerbate chronic lung diseases, and so this presents an imminent peril to public health. EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2019 LA Medicaid Preferred Drug List (PDL)/Non-Preferred Drug List (NPDL) Effective Date: July 15October 1, 2019 AG – Authorized Generic DR – Concurrent Prescriptions Must Be Written by Same Prescriber PU – Prior Use of Other Medication is Required AL – Age Limits DS – Maximum Days’ Supply Allowed QL – Quantity Limits BH – Behavioral Health Clinical Authorization Required for Children Younger Than 6 DT – Duration of Therapy Limit RX – Specific Prescription Requirements Years Old BY – Diagnosis Codes Bypass Some Requirements DX – Diagnosis Code Requirements TD – Therapeutic Duplication UN – Drug Use Not Warranted (Needs Appropriate CL – More Detailed Clinical Information

Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Kromasil C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm id, 5µm) column using a mobile phase ratio consisting of (40:30:30) Methanol: Acetonitrile: Potassium di hydrogen phosphate buffer (0.05M, PH 4.0 adjusting with 0.5% Ortho phosphoric acid) at flow rate 1.0 ml/min. The detection wavelength is 270 nm. The retention times of Clidinium bromide, Chlordiazepoxide and Dicyclomine hydrochloride were found to be 7.457 min, 4.400 min and 3.397 min respectively. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines using the parameters such as accuracy, precision, linearity, LOD, LOQ, ruggedness and robustness. The developed and validated method was successfully used for the quantitative analysis of Clidinium bromide, Chlordiazepoxide and Dicyclomine hydrochloride in bulk and combined tablet dosage forms. KEY WORDS Clidinium bromide, Chlordiazepoxide and Dicyclomine hydrochloride, Normaxin tablet dosage forms, HPLC, Method validation.

  • Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor
    mAChR Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mAChRs (muscarinic acetylcholine receptors) are acetylcholine receptors that form G protein-receptor complexes in the cell membranes of certainneurons and other cells. They play several roles, including acting as the main end-receptor stimulated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic fibersin the parasympathetic nervous system. mAChRs are named as such because they are more sensitive to muscarine than to nicotine. Their counterparts are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), receptor ion channels that are also important in the autonomic nervous system. Many drugs and other substances (for example pilocarpineand scopolamine) manipulate these two distinct receptors by acting as selective agonists or antagonists. Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter found extensively in the brain and the autonomic ganglia. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 mAChR Inhibitors & Modulators (+)-Cevimeline hydrochloride hemihydrate (-)-Cevimeline hydrochloride hemihydrate Cat.

    2019 Year in Review: Aerosol Therapy Ariel Berlinski Introduction COPD Newly Approved Drugs Asthma New Devices As-Needed Inhaled Corticosteroid/Long-Acting Bronchodilator Therapy Asthma Medication Report in Adolescents and Caregivers Cystic Fibrosis Hypertonic Saline in Cystic Fibrosis Infectivity of Cough Aerosols in Cystic Fibrosis Liposomal Amikacin for MAC Lung Disease Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems E-Cigarette or Vaping Associated Lung Injury Secondhand Exposure Summary Relevant publications related to medicinal and toxic aerosols are discussed in this review. Treatment of COPD includes a combination of long-acting bronchodilators and long-acting muscarinic antagonists. A combination of aclidinium bromide and formoterol fumarate was approved in the United States. The combination was superior to its components alone, as well as tiotropium and a salmeterol-fluticasone combination. Increased risk of an asthma exacerba- tion was reported in children exposed to electronic nicotine delivery systems. A smart inhaler capable of recording inspiratory flow was approved in the United States. The use of as-needed budesonide-formoterol was reported to be superior to scheduled budesonide and as-needed ter- butaline for the treatment of adults with mild-to-moderate asthma. A survey among teens with asthma and their caregivers revealed a disagreement in the number of inhaled controller medi- cations the teen was taking. Treatment with inhaled hypertonic saline resulted in a decreased lung clearance index in infants and preschool children with cystic fibrosis. Surgical masks were well tolerated and significantly decreased the burden of aerosolized bacteria generated by coughing in adults with cystic fibrosis. Inhaled liposomal amikacin in addition to guideline- based therapy was reported to be superior to guideline-based therapy alone in achieving nega- tive sputum cultures in adult subjects with Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease.

    ® 1 BROVANA 2 (arformoterol tartrate) Inhalation Solution 3 15 mcg*/2 mL 4 *potency expressed as arformoterol 5 6 For oral inhalation only 7 8 WARNING: ASTHMA RELATED DEATH 9 Long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists (LABA) increase the risk of asthma-related 10 death. Data from a large placebo-controlled US study that compared the safety of 11 another long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (salmeterol) or placebo added to usual 12 asthma therapy showed an increase in asthma-related deaths in patients receiving 13 salmeterol. This finding with salmeterol is considered a class effect of LABA, 14 including arformoterol, the active ingredient in BROVANA (see WARNINGS). The 15 safety and efficacy of BROVANA in patients with asthma have not been established. 16 All LABA, including BROVANA, are contraindicated in patients with asthma 17 without use of a long-term asthma control medication (see 18 CONTRAINDICATIONS). 19 20 DESCRIPTION 21 BROVANA (arformoterol tartrate) Inhalation Solution is a sterile, clear, colorless, 22 aqueous solution of the tartrate salt of arformoterol, the (R,R)-enantiomer of formoterol. 23 Arformoterol is a selective beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator.
