Making an Elderberry Syrup Or Elixir
Making an Elderberry Syrup or Elixir Herbal syrups are water extractions of herbs (usually decoctions—see below) that are concentrated with a sweetener (preferably organic white sugar or raw honey). This sweetener provides a bit of nutritional support as a carbohydrate and also acts as a preservative. The concentration of sugar is particularly important when making syrups and elixirs; when in water, sugar acts as a food source for micro-organisms (especially molds and yeasts). However, at a high enough concentration, the sugar actually restricts the growth ability of micro-organisms. So we are aiming to get our syrup to be saturated enough to preserve, but not so saturated that the sugar overwhelms the liquid and causes crystallization. When preparing a syrup, one of the following ratios should be used: 1 part decoction : 1 part sweetener 1 part decoction : 2 parts sweetener I tend to follow the 1 part water : 1 part sweetener suggestion, as the 1 : 2 ratio is too sweet for me. But I have access to a refrigerator, which will also help with preservation. If you are keeping your syrup at room temperature, the 1:2 ratio is best. Syrups are a great, palatable method for delivery of herbal medicines (especially for children), and are also a great way to mask the flavor of less tasty tinctures--just combine the tincture and the syrup and you get the medicinal benefits of both. Preserving syrups with honey is also a great way to combine the medicinal benefits of the honey with the herbs that are being used. Do not give syrups preserved with honey to children under the age of one. -

2020 PBD 5 Tier Formulary
2020 Pharmacy Benefit Dimensions 5 Tier Drug Formulary The following information applies to most members enrolled in a Pharmacy Benefit Dimensions pharmacy plan. Note: If you are reading a printed version of this drug formulary, content may have been updated since it was last printed. For the most up-to-date information, please visit www.pbdrx.com. Drug Formulary Introduction • Generic drugs appear in lower case. Brand name drugs are capitalized. • Preferred generic drugs and a few select brand name drugs are assigned to Tier 1. In most instances, once a generic product is available for which there are no bioequivalence concerns, the brand product is removed from the formulary (not covered), and the generic product is assigned to Tier 1. Certain generic drugs may also be covered in a non-preferred tier when efficacy, safety, or cost factors suggest that better alternatives exist on the formulary. • Pharmacy Benefit Dimensions reserves the right to modify drug tiers as necessary. • Some medications are considered non-formulary (not covered). To obtain a medication that is non-formulary, your health care provider is encouraged to submit a Prior Authorization request for coverage through the exception process. If the request is approved, you will be responsible for the cost share associated with a non- preferred drug tier. • Certain self-funded employer groups may not follow this base formulary and certain exclusions may apply. Members in these pharmacy benefit management groups should refer to their summary plan description and/or their benefit administrator. Prior-Authorization Prior Authorization is required for certain medications. To obtain coverage for a medication requiring Prior Authorization, a Prior Authorization request for medical exception must be submitted by your health care provider and approved by Pharmacy Benefit Dimensions. -

Thanks also to Mera text & form for report design and production. Executive Summary Women’s Environmental Network, Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, and Health Care Without Harm contracted a certified Swedish analytical laboratory to test 34 name-brand cos- metic products for phthalates, a large family of synthetic chemicals linked to decreased fertility and reproductive defects. The laboratory found phthalates in nearly 80% of the products. More than half of the tested cosmetics contained more than one type of phthalate. Major brands included products by Boots, Christian Dior, L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Lever Fabergé, and Wella. None of the products listed phthalates as an ingredient on the label. In November 2002, the EU amended the Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC to order the removal of two phthalates in the very near future because of their reproductive toxicity (DEHP and DBP).
