2021 SELECT EX FORMULARY the Following Is a List of the Most Commonly Prescribed Brand and Generic Medications
2021 SELECT EX FORMULARY The following is a list of the most commonly prescribed brand and generic medications. It represents an abbreviated version of the formulary list that is at the core of your prescription drug benefit plan. The list is not all-inclusive and does not guarantee coverage. Some preferred medications overlap with other clinical programs and may not be covered. In addition to drugs on this list, the majority of generic medications are covered under your plan and you are encouraged to ask your doctor to prescribe generic drugs whenever appropriate. Search complete formulary drug information at elixirsolutions.com. PLEASE NOTE: Preferred brand drugs may move to non-preferred status if a generic version becomes available during the year. Any medication approved to enter the market will not be covered until reviewed by Elixir. Not all drugs listed are covered by all prescription drug benefit programs.

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. -

INTRODUCTION Over the course of this project, imm-you-nity has worked to provide innovative design solutions focused on interactive interfaces and devices to help people be more aware, in control and engaged with their health and wellness. The project aim was to design and develop a new consumer interactive product that would provide a distinct personal experience, improving the user’s management and relationship with their Health & Wellness. The project was specifically focused towards the user’s engagement with allergy conditions. Design investigation accounted for emerging technologies and how this could be applied to enhance the user’s management and interaction with severe allergies and anaphylaxis. Australia has one of the highest reported incidences of food allergies in the world with one in ten people forecasted to develop a food allergy throughout their lives. As those who obtain allergies become more and more prevalent, people are turning to technology for assitance of this issue. The client approached the team in endeavour to develop a product that could assist people with the management and treatment of severe allergy conditions of anaphylaxis. -
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. -

Network-Based Characterization of Drug-Protein Interaction Signatures

BMC Systems Biology 2019, 13(Suppl 2):39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12918-019-0691-1 RESEARCH Open Access Network-based characterization of drug-protein interaction signatures with a space-efficient approach Yasuo Tabei1*, Masaaki Kotera2, Ryusuke Sawada3 and Yoshihiro Yamanishi3,4 From The 17th Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (APBC 2019) Wuhan, China. 14–16 January 2019 Abstract Background: Characterization of drug-protein interaction networks with biological features has recently become challenging in recent pharmaceutical science toward a better understanding of polypharmacology. Results: We present a novel method for systematic analyses of the underlying features characteristic of drug-protein interaction networks, which we call “drug-protein interaction signatures” from the integration of large-scale heterogeneous data of drugs and proteins. We develop a new efficient algorithm for extracting informative drug- protein interaction signatures from the integration of large-scale heterogeneous data of drugs and proteins, which is made possible by space-efficient representations for fingerprints of drug-protein pairs and sparsity-induced classifiers. Conclusions: Our method infers a set of drug-protein interaction signatures consisting of the associations between drug chemical substructures, adverse drug reactions, protein domains, biological pathways, and pathway modules. We argue the these signatures are biologically meaningful and useful for predicting unknown drug-protein interactions and are expected to contribute to rational drug design.
