Medicines Formulary MEDICINES FORMULARY Medicines formulary between MCHFT and Primary Care as agreed by the Joint Medicines Management Group Introduction Welcome to the MCHFT Medicines Formulary. The formulary includes medicines that have been approved by the Joint Medicines Management Group (JMMG) for prescribing within the trust. The purpose of the formulary is to ensure prescribing is evidence based and cost effective. All prescribing within the trust (i.e. inpatient, outpatient and FP10HNC prescribing) must comply with the formulary. This will be monitored on a regular basis. Some drugs may appear in more than one section. The formulary is arranged in sections corresponding to those in the British National Formulary (BNF) as below; INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................................... 2 UPDATES TO THE FORMULARY (LAST UPDATED MAY 2018)............................................................... 4 1.

Where a drug has been approved by the Joint Medicines Management Group (JMMG, formerly a committee named JMMC) the month and year of the relevant meeting is also listed below the drug entry. NICE guidance can be found at; Technology Appraisals (TA) http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/published?type=ta Clinical Guidelines (CG) http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/published?type=cg MHRA Alerts and recalls on drugs and medical devices https://www.gov.uk/drug-device-alerts Patients taking a non-formulary drug on admission Treatment with a non-formulary drug may be continued in this instance; however it must be borne in mind that there may be a delay in obtaining a non-formulary drug. Additions to the formulary The addition of a new drug or preparation will only be made after approval by the Joint Medicines Management Group. To request an addition to the formulary a New Product Request (NPR) form must be submitted to the JMMG. This form can be found under Frequently Used Forms- Medicines Management on the trust intranet. New non-formulary drugs required for an individual patient in exceptional circumstances Such an application for a “one-off” use may be made to the chairperson of the JMMG, if the drug is required before the next JMMG meeting. Local Health Economy (LHE) Formulary Policy (Vale Royal, South Cheshire and Eastern Cheshire areas). The LHE Formulary is intended to cover prescriptions written in primary care or recommendations by hospital doctors in respect of outpatients or patients leaving hospital after an admission. This is a good point of reference to confirm the continuation of medicines in Primary Care after initiation at MCHFT. The Area Prescribing Group (APG) agrees on a formulary status of medicines. These are designated by the following colours: • Green = Recommended • Green/Yellow = On formulary • Yellow = A second or third line option within a drug group (Last updated May 2018) Page 2 of 69 • Pink (Specialist Recommendation) = Medicines that can safely be initiated in primary care on the recommendation of a specialist • Pink (Specialist Initiation) = Medicines that require specialist initiation and/or stabilisation before prescribing is transferred to primary care • Pink (Shared Care) = Medicines that require a more formal shared-care approach including regular secondary care review and monitoring • Purple = Consultant/ Specialist only prescribing • Red = Discouraged • Grey = Discouraged; not considered suitable for prescribing • Blue = No formulary decision made / formulary position not yet considered (not to be prescribed until a formulary status has been agreed) The Formulary is available on the Medicines Management Team website: http://www.centralandeasterncheshiremmt.nhs.uk BACK TO TOP (Last updated May 2018) Page 3 of 69 ii Updates to the formulary UPDATES TO THE FORMULARY 2018 Date BNF Update Details Section See formulary entry for full details May 8.1.5 Avelumab 2018 Obinutuzumab Pembrolizumab 9.6.7 Paravit CF capsules & liquid 13.5.3 Brodalumab April 3.2 Fluticasone furoate/ vilanterol/ umeclidinium inhaler (Trelegy®) 2018 4.7 Methoxyflurane (Penthrox®) 6.1.2.3 Alogliptin 6.4.1.1 Raloxifene(update) Teriparatide (update) 8.1 Tivozanib 8.1.5 Cabozantinib Daratumumab Eribulin Pertuzumab Regorafenib 10.4 Autologous chondrocyte implantation using chondrosphere March 1.2 Eluxadoline to be used as for treating adults with irritable bowel syndrome with 2018 diarrhoea.

  • Review of the Existing Recommendations for Essential Medicines for Ear, Nose and Throat Conditions in Adults and Children and Suggested Modifications
    REVIEW OF THE EXISTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ESSENTIAL MEDICINES FOR EAR, NOSE AND THROAT CONDITIONS IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN AND SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS 2012 Shelly Chadha, Andnet Kebede Prevention of Blindness and Deafness, World Health Organization REVIEW OF THE EXISTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ESSENTIAL MEDICINES (Ear, Nose and Throat conditions) FOR USE IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN AND SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS Context: The WHO Essential Medicines List includes a section for ENT conditions in children. The current section does not make any reference to medicines and dosages recommended for adults. As most of the conditions for which the listed medicines are indicated, are common in adults, the list needs to be appropriately reviewed in that context. Methodology: Each of the medicines listed in the EML for children was reviewed to consider its appropriateness for inclusion in the EML for adults. The recommended dosages for adults and children were also considered. Recommendations: The medicine list should include a list for adults as well as children. The list for adults should include Xylometazoline hydrochloride nasal spray 0.1%. It should be stated that the medicine (xylometazoline nasal spray) should not be used for prolonged periods of time, unless specifically advised and under medical supervision. The adult list should also include the other medicines mentioned in the list of children, i.e.: o Ciprofloxacin ear drops: 0.3%, as hydrochloride, for tropical use. o Aectic acid ear drops, 2% in alcohol, for topical use. Budesonide nasal spray listed in the EML for children needs greater, in depth review, which may be considered for the next EML update. 1 Xylometazoline Hydrochloride nasal spray Indications: Nasal congestion is obstruction of nasal passages, mainly caused by mucosal inflammation due to increased venous engorgement, nasal secretions and tissue swelling.

  • Conceptual Model for Using Imidazoline Derivative Solutions in Pulpal Management
    Journal of Clinical Medicine Review Conceptual Model for Using Imidazoline Derivative Solutions in Pulpal Management Robert S. Jones Division of Pediatric Dentistry, Department of Developmental & Surgical Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Alpha-adrenergic agonists, such as the Imidazoline derivatives (ImDs) of oxymetazoline and xylometazoline, are highly effective hemostatic agents. ImDs have not been widely used in dentistry but their use in medicine, specifically in ophthalmology and otolaryngology, warrants consideration for pulpal hemostasis. This review presents dental healthcare professionals with an overview of ImDs in medicine. ImD solutions have the potential to be more effective and biocompatible than existing topical hemostatic compounds in pulpal management. Through a comprehensive analysis of the pharmacology of ImDs and the microphysiology of hemostasis regulation in oral tissues, a conceptual model of pulpal management by ImD solutions is presented. Keywords: hemostasis; alpha-adrenergic agonists; imidazoline; oxymetazoline; nasal; dental pulp; mucosa; apexogenesis; pulpotomy; direct pulp cap; dentistry 1. Overview Citation: Jones, R.S.

(44-20) 74 18 84 00 Fax (44-20) 74 18 86 68 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.emea.eu.int EMEA 2005 Reproduction and/or distribution of this document is authorised for non commercial purposes only provided the EMEA is acknowledged 1 SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION 1.1 Introduction and rationale The MAH submitted an extension application under Annex II, point 2 iii to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1085/2003 to request the approval of a 150 mg tablet as a monthly dosing regimen of ibandronate only for the indication of “treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, in order to reduce the risk of vertebral fractures”. This claim is based on the results of a phase III study MOBILE (BM16549) comparing 100 and 150 mg once monthly to 2.5 mg once daily. Due to the inconveniences associated with intake of oral bisphosphonates (i.e. fasting conditions, frequent upper gastrointestinal intolerance) that may result in poor compliance, it was considered desirable to develop a more convenient drug formulation. Hence a 150 mg once monthly oral regimen is expected to offer greater convenience to postmenopausal women when compared to the currently approved 2.5mg once daily tablet. The development programme No new pre-clinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies have been performed in addition to those included in the previous submission for ibandronate 2.5 mg daily oral tablets.
