2015 FORMULARY (Commercial) 2015 FORMULARY (Commercial) EFFECTIVE 01/01/15 Introduction This formulary is a list of generic and brand medications covered by your prescription drug benefit. It is designed to offer you and your doctor cost-effective choices for safe and clinically effective prescription drugs. Coverage for the drugs included on the 2015 PreferredOne Formulary is determined by your benefit plan design. It is important to note that this formulary is not a complete list of medications and not all listed drugs may be covered by your plan. Please refer to the benefit documents provided by your employer or health plan for information on your specific benefit coverage. You may also contact the PreferredOne Customer Service Department at 1-800- 997-1750 or visit PreferredOne.com for more information. How is the formulary developed? This formulary was developed based on the recommendations of an independent Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee comprised of doctors and pharmacists. This committee meets several times a year to review and select safe, clinically sound, cost-effective drugs for the formulary. Ongoing review of clinical literature is conducted to evaluate safety, effectiveness and current use in therapy to determine whether a drug should be included in the formulary. Does the formulary change throughout the year? The 2015 PreferredOne Formulary may change throughout the year as new drugs or clinical information becomes available. Drugs may be added as they are introduced to the marketplace and other drugs may change tier status as generics become available. Please contact the PreferredOne Customer Service Department at 1-800-997-1750 or visit PreferredOne.com for the most current formulary information. What are formulary tiers? This formulary is made up of different cost levels or tiers. Your health plan or employer determines your out-of-pocket costs for each tier. Check your plan’s benefit documents to understand your benefit structure and out-of-pocket costs. If you are prescribed a drug on a higher tier, discuss the alternative lower tier options with your doctor to help save money on your out of pocket costs. Are generic drugs different than brand drugs? Generic drugs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be just as safe and effective as brand drugs. Although they have the same active ingredients, generic drugs generally cost significantly less than brand drugs. You can lower your out-of-pocket expenses by asking your doctor if a generic medication is right for you. How do I fill my specialty medication? Specialty medications are typically used to treat rare or chronic conditions and often require special handling. To ensure the safest, most clinically appropriate and cost-effective dispensing of these medications, your plan may require you to fill your prescriptions at a designated specialty pharmacy. Specialty pharmacies provide personalized care and offer convenient delivery to your home or other approved location. Please contact the PreferredOne Customer Service Department at 1-800-997-1750 or visit PreferredOne.com for the most current formulary information. Are there any restrictions on my coverage? Some medications on the formulary may have additional requirements or limits on coverage. These requirements or limits may include: Prior Authorization — Your benefit plan may require that the medication you have been prescribed receive prior authorization. This means that you will need to get approval from your plan before you fill your prescription. If you don’t get approval, the medication may not be covered by your drug benefit. Quantity Limits — For some drugs, your plan may limit the amount of the drug that is covered by your benefit for a certain time period. Quantities that exceed this limit must be reviewed and approved by your plan before coverage will apply. Step Therapy — In some cases, your plan may require you to first try certain drugs to treat your medical condition before another drug for that condition will be covered. For example, if two drugs are used to treat the same medical condition, you may be required to first try one drug before the second drug is covered. Your doctor can request a prior authorization, a quantity limit override, or a step therapy override approval by submitting the appropriate request form to PreferredOne on your behalf. PreferredOne will review the request and make a determination of coverage for the drug.

After 20 years of diabetes, almost all patients suffering from type I diabetes mellitus and about 60% of type II diabetics have DR. Several studies have tried to identify drugs and therapies to treat DR though little attention has been given to flavonoids, one type of polyphenols, which can be found in high levels mainly in fruits and vegetables, but also in other foods such as grains, cocoa, green tea or even in red wine.

  • (Haemagel) Versus 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 200/0.5 (Haes-Steril) for Plasma Volume Expansion in Critically-Ill Patients Magdy Ali Omera, MD* , Salah A
    Alexandria Journal of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 44 Autoclaved Gelatin (Haemagel) Versus 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 200/0.5 (Haes-steril) For Plasma Volume Expansion In Critically-ill Patients Magdy Ali Omera, MD* , Salah A. Ismail, MD* * Assistant Prof. of Anaesthesia, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University. ABSTRACT Synthetic colloids are used to optimize hemodynamics in the critically ill patients and a debate about the most suitable one is still present. The influence of short term infusion of autoclaved gelatin (Haemagel) and 6% hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 (Haes-steril) on hemodynamic, respiratory, coagulation, renal and oncotic parameters were examined in a prospective randomized study. Method: Thirty patients suffering from systemic hypoperfusion due to sepsis in ICU of Suez Canal University Hospital were assigned into 2 equal groups. In GEL group: 1000 ml of Haemagel was infused within an hour, while in HES group: 1000 ml of 6% Haes-steril 200/0.5 was given within an hour. The hemodynamic, respiratory, hematological, coagulation, renal and colloidal osmotic pressure parameters were recorded before and after infusion of both colloids. Results: There was a significant similar increase in hemodynamic variables (Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac index, stroke volume index and left ventricular stroke work index) in both groups. Also, a significant improvement in tissue perfusion as judged by decreased arterial lactate was found. There were no significant differences in any of the measured respiratory parameters (respiratory rate, arterial oxygen saturation, arterial blood gases and intrapulmonary shunt) in the studied groups. No significant intergroup difference in any haemodynamic or respiratory variable was demonstrated.

  • Coagulation Effects of Mannitol in Combination with 0.9% Normal Saline Or Hydroxyethyl Starch in Patients Undergoing Supratentorial Craniotomy: a Preliminary Report
    Original Article Coagulation effects of mannitol in combination with 0.9% normal saline or hydroxyethyl starch in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy: A preliminary report Hemanshu Prabhakar, Gyaninder Pal Singh, Parmod Kumar Bithal, Mani Kalaivani1 Abstract Background: Neurosurgical patients often require administration of both, mannitol and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). A recent in vitro study demonstrated that HES in combination with mannitol could disturb coagulation parameters and should be avoided in neurosurgical practice. The aim of our study was to evaluate coagulation abnormalities due to mannitol when administered alone and in combination with HES in patients undergoing craniotomy for various intracranial brain tumours. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 30 adult patients undergoing craniotomy. Patients were randomised into two groups using a computer generated randomisation chart. Interventions: Group A: Patients received 10 ml/kg 0.9% normal saline and 1 g/kg mannitol and Group B: Patients received 10 ml/kg, HES 130/0.4, and 1 gm/kg mannitol; immediately after induction of general anaesthesia. Rotational thromboelastography was done immediately after induction of general anaesthesia and 5 min after administration of mannitol. Measured parameters of blood coagulation were clotting time (CT) and clot formation time (CFT) with EXTEM and maximum clot firmness (MCF) with EXTEM and (FIBTEM). Results: Fourteen patients in each group completed the study. Insignificant change was noted in CT; CFT altered significantly from the baseline in both the groups (P < 0.05). MCF with FIBTEM did not change significantly from baseline (P > 0.05), but significantly differed between groups (P = 0.001). However, all values were in normal range.
