CORTICOSTEROID POWDERS Clobetasol Powder, Fluticasone Powder, Mometasone Powder RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN PA PROGRAM Background Corticosteroid medications demonstrate potent anti-inflammatory activity that decrease inflammation through an unknown mechanism of action. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by affecting cellular signaling and immune function, which leads to the inhibition of potent inflammatory mediators. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption (1-3). Clobetasol is commercially available in the following dosage forms: topical foam, shampoo, topical cream, topical gel, topical lotion, topical ointment, and topical solution. Fluticasone is commercially available in the following dosage forms: topical cream, topical lotion, topical ointment, nasal spray and various aerosols and powders for inhalation. Mometasone is commercially available in the following dosage forms: topical cream, topical lotion, topical ointment, nasal spray and as a powder for inhalation. Regulatory Status FDA approved topical indications: Topical corticosteroids are indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses (1-3). Summary Topical corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. Topical corticosteroids are FDA-approved for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses (1-3). Prior authorization is required to ensure the safe, clinically appropriate and cost effective use of corticosteroid powders while maintaining optimal therapeutic outcomes. References 1.

USING RHEOLOGY MEASUREMENT AS A POTENTIALLY PREDICTIVE TOOL FOR SOLDER PASTE TRANSFER EFFICIENCY AND PRINT VOLUME CONSISTENCY Mitch Holtzer, Karen Tellefsen and Westin Bent Alpha Assembly Solutions South Plainfield, NJ, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT Commercially available solder pastes use an upper and Industry standards such as J-STD-005 and JIS Z 3284-1994 lower limit for viscosity. Generally, this viscosity is call for the use of viscosity measurement(s) as a quality measured at one shear rate, typically the shear associated assurance test method for solder paste. Almost all solder with a spiral viscometer rotating at 10 revolutions per paste produced and sold use a viscosity range at a single minute (RPM). If the powder contained in solder paste is shear rate as part of the pass fail criteria for shipment and dissolved by the acid activator in the solder paste flux, the customer acceptance respectively. viscosity of the solder paste will quickly increase. If the viscosity increases more than 20 to 30% above the upper As had been reported many times, an estimated 80% of the limit of the specification, poor printing results will be highly defects associated with the surface mount technology likely. The solder paste will not roll evenly over the stencil process involve defects created during the printing process. and apertures in the stencil will remain unfilled, causing Viscosity at a single shear rate could predict a fatal flaw in skips in the paste printing pattern. the printability of a solder paste sample.

Mometasone Powder Rationale for Inclusion In
MOMETASONE POWDER RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN PA PROGRAM Background Mometasone is a corticosteroid demonstrating potent anti-inflammatory activity able to decrease inflammation through a mechanism of action that is not known. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2, which leads to the inhibition of a common precursor for potent inflammatory mediators. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption (1). Mometasone is commercially available in the following dosage forms: topical cream, topical lotion, topical ointment, nasal spray and as a powder for inhalation. Regulatory Status FDA approved topical indication: Mometasone is a corticosteroid indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses in patients 2 years of age and older (1). The safety and efficacy of mometasone have not been established in pediatric patients below 2 years of age (1). Summary Topical steroids have anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. Mometasone is FDA-approved for inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid- responsive dermatoses in patients 2 years of age and older. The safety and efficacy of mometasone have not been established in pediatric patients below 2 years of age (1). Mometasone is commercially available in the following dosage forms: topical cream, topical lotion, topical ointment, nasal spray and as powder for inhalation. Mometasone powder may be considered medically necessary in a topical formulation for patients 2 years of age or older for the treatment of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Mometasone powder may be considered investigational in a topical formulation for patients Mometasone Powder FEP Clinical Rationale MOMETASONE POWDER under the age of 2 years, or in patients without a diagnosis of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.

SODIUM POLYSTYRENE SULFONATE, USP Cation-Exchange Resin
Kayexalate® SODIUM POLYSTYRENE SULFONATE, USP Cation-Exchange Resin DESCRIPTION Kayexalate, brand of sodium polystyrene sulfonate is a benzene, diethenyl-polymer, with ethenylbenzene, sulfonated, sodium salt and has the following structural formula: The drug is a cream to light brown finely ground, powdered form of sodium polystyrene sulfonate, a cation-exchange resin prepared in the sodium phase with an in vitro exchange capacity of approximately 3.1 mEq (in vivo approximately 1 mEq) of potassium per gram. The sodium content is approximately 100 mg (4.1 mEq) per gram of the drug. It can be administered orally or in an enema. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY As the resin passes along the intestine or is retained in the colon after administration by enema, the sodium ions are partially released and are replaced by potassium ions. For the most part, this action occurs in the large intestine, which excretes potassium ions to a greater degree than does the small intestine. The efficiency of this process is limited and unpredictably variable. It commonly approximates the order of 33 percent but the range is so large that definitive indices of electrolyte balance must be clearly monitored. Metabolic data are unavailable. INDICATION AND USAGE Kayexalate is indicated for the treatment of hyperkalemia. CONTRAINDICATIONS Kayexalate is contraindicated in the following conditions: patients with hypokalemia, patients with a history of hypersensitivity to polystyrene sulfonate resins, obstructive bowel disease, neonates with reduced gut motility (postoperatively or drug induced) and oral administration in neonates (see PRECAUTIONS). WARNINGS Intestinal Necrosis: Cases of intestinal necrosis, which may be fatal, and other serious gastrointestinal adverse events (bleeding, ischemic colitis, perforation) have been reported in association with Kayexalate use.

Standard Terms: Introduction and Guidance for Use – V.2.1.3 – 16 November 2018 Contents
Standard Terms Introduction and Guidance for Use Version 2.1.3 – 16 November 2018 GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE LISTS OF STANDARD TERMS The lists of Standard Terms were initially drawn up by the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) Commission further to a request of the EU Commission, for use in marketing authorisation applications (MAAs), labelling (including the summary of product characteristics (SmPC)), and electronic communications. The first list was published as a special edition of Pharmeuropa in October 1996. The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), a Directorate of the Council of Europe based in Strasbourg, France, is responsible for continuing this work. Standard Terms have the double purpose of bringing information to the patient/user/prescriber and distinguishing medicinal products having the same trade-name. Because of the labelling purposes it is imperative that any Standard Term is constructed with a view to the patient and the prescriber. It conveys essential information on the properties and uses of the particular medicinal products. To avoid a proliferation of over-complicated terms, complete information cannot always be included in a Standard Term, and should instead appear elsewhere in the labelling, in particular the package leaflet and SmPC. Since 2017 the scope of the Standard Terms database has also widened to allow the inclusion of certain additional terms that are not intended for use in MAAs, but are used for related purposes such as adverse event reporting (pharmacovigilance) and clinical trials. At the same time, in an effort to encourage greater global harmonisation of electronic communications, applications for terms to describe concepts that are not used in European Pharmacopoeia Commission member states but are used in other regions are also now accepted for consideration.

KAYEXALATE (Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate) Is a Cream Or Light Brown Fine Powder of Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate
PRESCRIBING INFORMATION ® PrKAYEXALATE (Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate) Cation - Exchange Resin sanofi-aventis Canada Inc. Date of Revision: 2905 Place Louis R.-Renaud September 19, 2018 Laval, Quebec H7V 0A3 Submission Control No.: 217331 s-a Version 5.0 dated September 19, 2018 KAYEXALATE Prescribing Information Page 1 of 12 DESCRIPTION KAYEXALATE (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) is a cream or light brown fine powder of sodium polystyrene sulfonate. KAYEXALATE is a cation-exchange resin prepared in the sodium phase, with an in vivo exchange capacity of approximately 1 mmol (in vitro approximately 3.1 mmol) of potassium per gram. The sodium content is approximately 4.1 mmol (100 mg) per gram of the drug. KAYEXALATE can be administered either orally or as an enema. ACTION Sodium polystyrene sulfonate is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. As the resin passes through the gastrointestinal tract, the resin removes the potassium ions by exchanging it for sodium ions. Most of this action occurs in the large intestine, which excretes potassium ions to a greater degree than does the small intestine. Potassium exchange also occurs in the colon following retention of the resin, when administered as an enema. The efficiency of this process is limited and unpredictable. It commonly approximates the order of 33 per cent but the range is so large that definite indices of electrolyte balance must be clearly monitored. Metabolic data are unavailable. INDICATION KAYEXALATE is indicated for the treatment of hyperkalemia. CONTRAINDICATIONS KAYEXALATE should not be administered to patients with the following conditions: • serum potassium <5 mmol/L • history of hypersensitivity to polystyrene sulfonate resins • obstructive bowel disease KAYEXALATE should not be administered orally to neonates or in neonates with reduced gut motility (postoperatively or drug induced).
