Introduction 3 Introduction
The Texas Health and Human Services Psychiatric Drug Formulary is the publication that outlines the medications that have been approved for use in Community Mental Health Centers, Mental Health State Hospitals and the State Supported Living Centers. The formulary is published annually around the beginning of the calendar year. This document is divided into three sections (Alphabetical Listing, Therapeutic Classification/Cost Index, and Alphabetical Index) to facilitate usage.
Alphabetical Listing:
This section lists all the medications alphabetically by generic (nonproprietary) name. Trade (proprietary) names and abbreviations are listed in parenthesis after the generic name. In this section, all approved dosage forms are listed. All available strengths of approved dosage forms are considered formulary unless specifically noted otherwise.
Therapeutic Classification/Cost Index:
This section groups the medications by therapeutic usage and lists them alphabetically by generic (nonproprietary) name. Medications may be listed in multiple categories. For trade names, consult the alphabetical index. Also in this section is a relative cost index so that medications used in similar situations can be evaluated keeping cost of care in mind. Relative cost is noted as either low, moderate, or high and is based on cost per day of the average dose. The relative cost of bulk items is indexed per unit (gram, ml).
Alphabetical Index:
This section lists all the medications alphabetically by trade name, generic name, and abbreviations. Page numbers for each of the listings is provided.
The purpose of the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee is to maintain and update the Formulary and to recommend standards for drug use within the Community Mental Health
Texas HHS Psychiatric Drug Formulary 2021
Introduction 4 Centers, State Hospitals and the State Supported Living Centers. The Committee is concerned with maintaining the highest standards for drug use. To assist the clinician in prescribing the most cost effective agents a Therapeutic Classification with relative cost data is provided. Because of their frequency of use, the highest level of concern and vigilance centers on the psychotropic medications. For the clinician's reference, the Formulary provides tables summarizing the recommended dosage ranges for the psychotropic drugs; however, these guidelines are not intended to replace other references or the clinician's clinical judgment. The clinician is urged to check with other references, including the Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 415, Subchapter A, Prescribing of Psychoactive Medication, The American Hospital Formulary Service Drug Information, Facts & Comparisons, and The AMA Drug Evaluations among other reliable sources.
This Formulary, is not intended to be a reference for drug use. Rather it is to serve the clinician as a listing of drugs, which are approved for use. Approval of a drug entity for inclusion in the Formulary does not imply approval of all formulations containing that entity. The HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee will decide which formulations are approved for use. Not all drugs listed in the Formulary will be stocked at each facility's pharmacy. If a physician, dentist, nurse or pharmacist desires to have a drug added to the Formulary, he or she should complete and submit the appropriate form (New Drug Application, see Appendix 1) to the facility’s Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. If it is approved at the facility level, the facility’s Director of Pharmacy must then forward the request to the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee in care of the State Hospitals. Requests received at least 30 days prior to the quarterly meeting will be considered at that meeting. Requests received less than 30 days before the meeting will not be considered until the following meeting. Clinicians and facilities are encouraged to submit supporting documents with their formulary request. The HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee will evaluate the submission's appropriateness based upon the efficacy and safety of the proposed drug compared with existing formulary items and cost effectiveness of the new agent. When appropriate, the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee will add the new drug or replace old agents in the same pharmacological/therapeutic category with the new agent.
The Formulary consists of routine and reserve drugs. Drugs in the reserve class have specific guidelines for use printed in the Formulary. These guidelines will be used to audit the appropriate use of reserve drugs. Based on the audit results, continuing education will be developed and targeted as needed. The purpose of reserve status is to stimulate thought and promote care in prescribing. Discussions about the use of reserve status drugs with peers are encouraged. Use of reserve status drugs requires documentation of justification in the patient’s progress notes.
As a means of preventing medication errors, the Formulary has incorporated TALL MAN characters to assist in distinguishing look-alike drug names. TALL MAN characters are being implemented in various parts of the pharmaceutical industry in order to prevent medication
Texas HHS Psychiatric Drug Formulary 2021
Introduction 5 errors. Even though the Formulary may not play a major role in preventing medication errors, hopefully this change will stimulate the awareness of TALL MAN characters and assist in implementing this print style in other areas of our medication use process.
The HHSC System utilizes a closed formulary system. Only drugs listed in the Formulary are to be stocked, prescribed and dispensed in State Hospitals and State Supported Living Centers including pharmaceutical products recommended by consultants for specialized treatments. When a patient's condition requires a drug not listed in the Formulary, limited quantities can be obtained for use in that particular patient. However, documentation (Non-Formulary Drug Justification Form, see Appendix 3) or other appropriate pharmacy software generated report should be submitted to the facility Medical Director and the State Hospital Chief Medical Director’s office where it will be reviewed by the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee to assure reasonable compliance with the Formulary.
When requested by the Commissioner, the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee will make other recommendations regarding drug use. If facility clinicians have topics for committee consideration, these requests should be sent to the Chairperson, HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee in care of the State Hospitals (mail code 2023). The Committee also appreciates your comments concerning the printing of the Formulary and Committee deliberations and decisions. Please feel free to provide input.

Introduction 7 Procedure for Addition of Drugs to the Formulary
A physician, dentist, nurse or pharmacist desiring that a new drug be added to the Formulary should submit a new drug application (New Drug Application, see Appendix 1) to the facility's formulary committee. If approved, the new drug application should be forwarded to the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee. The following information should accompany the application:
1. published articles in the biomedical literature that substantiate the efficacy and safety of the proposed new drug; 2. advantages of the proposed new drug compared with similar therapeutic agents presently in the Formulary; 3. drugs in the Formulary which the proposed agent will replace or supplement; 4. cost effectiveness data.
New drug applications should be received by the secretary of the committee thirty days prior to the committee's scheduled meeting date. Applications received after this time will be considered at the next meeting.
The chairperson will assign a committee member to present an objective treatise and recommendations concerning the proposed to new drug to the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee. The committee may decide to approve or deny the drug's inclusion, approve the drug on a trial basis, or postpone a decision until the following meeting of the committee. The committee, at its discretion, may approve a drug's inclusion in the Formulary subject to specific limitations (e.g., recommendation by qualified specialists or consultants) or as a reserve drug.
The specific limitations or guidelines for use of a reserve drug are stated in the formulary. A credentialed clinician may prescribe reserve drugs outside Formulary guidelines; however, such exceptions must be justified in the patient record and must be reviewed in routine facility audits of reserve drug utilization.

Procedure for Addition of Drugs to the Formulary 8 Psychotropic Dosage Guidelines
The following is a list of psychotropic drug dosages. These guidelines are not intended to establish rigid standards of treatment but to assist in monitoring the pharmacotherapy of the patient. Furthermore, guidelines for special patient populations are not intended to be absolute. For those medications that have a well-established therapeutic serum range, the dosage should be based upon the desired serum range and response rather than a specific maximum administered daily dosage. These guidelines should be used in conjunction with sound clinical judgment and the prescriber’s experience.
In children and adolescents, metabolic and physiologic differences from adults should be considered when prescribing. Dosing based on body weight may be more accurate when treating these patients.
Different dosage requirements are usually necessary in the geriatric population. Since there is no standard definition for “geriatric”, the arbitrary age of 65 has been chosen to identify geriatric patients. In general, geriatric patient dosing guidelines should reflect a “go low, go slow” approach. Standard reference books should be consulted if needed for appropriate dosages when treating this population.
In general, when treating patients with intellectual disabilities, a “go low, go slow” approach is recommended when increasing or decreasing psychotropic medication. The use of psychotropic medication can be therapeutic and empowering for a person with both intellectual disabilities and mental illness. The primary goal is to obtain an accurate diagnosis of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms so that the patients’ treatment is appropriate. A functional analysis by a psychologist is vital prior to starting any psychotropic medication except in an emergency.
Prescribing psychotropic medication should be based on the following resources:
Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 415, Subchapter A, Prescribing of Psychoactive Medications
Other useful resources that reflect current Standards of Care for the mentally ill include but are not limited to the following:

Psychotropic Dosage Guidelines 22 Reserve Drugs
The purpose of the reserve drug class is to stimulate thought and promote care in prescribing. Discussions and interaction with other prescribers is strongly encouraged. When reserve status drugs are utilized, documentation of justification in the patient’s progress notes is mandated. To assist the prescriber, specific guidelines have been developed by the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee for use of each drug so classified. The guidelines will be used to audit the appropriate use of reserve drugs. Based on the audit results, continuing education will be developed and targeted as needed.

Texas HHS Psychiatric Drug Formulary 2021
A-2 Appendix B. PEFC Conflict of Interest Policy
Policy
The HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee (PEFC) must ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in determining which drugs should be on the formulary and their use in special populations. It is the policy of the PEFC to prohibit any apparent or actual conflict of interest. As such, each member of the PEFC, individuals preparing drug monographs, each requesting practitioner, and those appointed to work groups that report to the PEFC shall abide by this policy and submit a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement. The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent those with a significant financial interest or other relationship from participating in the formulary process, but rather to provide information to committee members and to the public so that conflicts can be resolved prior to the decision making process. It remains for the members of the committee to determine whether the individual’s interests or relationships may influence them with regard to exposition or conclusions. A conflict of interest for these purposes includes any situation in which a Committee member, individual preparing a drug monograph, individual submitting a request to the PEFC, work group member or a first degree relative of said person has a private or personal interest sufficient to appear to influence the objective exercise of his/her duties for the agency. An apparent conflict of interest is one in which a reasonable person would think that the person’s judgment is potentially compromised.
All committee members, individuals submitting drug monographs, individuals requesting drugs for addition to the formulary, and work group members are expected to disclose any financial interest or other relationship with (a) the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product and/or provider of commercial services for drugs on the formulary or being considered for the formulary (b) any commercial support for these drugs. Significant financial interest or other relationship can include such things as grants or research support, employee, consultant, major stockholder, member of speaker’s bureau, etc. The disclosure shall include any conflict of interest of a first degree relative.
PEFC members shall also abide by the HHS Ethics Policy.
Definitions “Companies” – includes pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. “Compensation” - includes direct and indirect remuneration or royalties, and may also include, among other things, items and services at reduced prices, or with discounts or rebates. “Controlling Interest” - a direct or indirect ownership or beneficial interest, individually or in conjunction with members of your family, which permits election or selection of a majority of the governing body of a company and/or which permits the exercise of control over the affairs of such company. “Financial Interest” – a direct or indirect, through business, investment or family: (a) Ownership Interest or investment interest in a company; (b) Compensation arrangement with a company or any of its affiliates; or
Texas HHS Psychiatric Drug Formulary 2021
B-1 (c) Ownership Interest or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any company or individual with which that company or any of its affiliates is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. “First Degree Relative” – spouse, parent, siblings, children “Gifts” or “Gratuities” - includes, among other things, meals, entertainment or recreational items, subsidies given directly to a healthcare professional for continuing medical education (CME), educational (i.e. anatomical models) and non-educational and practice-related items (i.e. items that do not advance disease or treatment education). “Ownership Interest” - owning or controling directly, indirectly, or beneficially through such person’s family, in excess of five percent (5%) of the total value of all securities of a Company.
Procedure
1. Committee members shall submit Disclosure Statements at least annually and as needed as their situation changes. See Appendix C for the “HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee Disclosure Form.” 2. Individuals submitting requests for addition to the formulary or completing drug monographs shall submit the “HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee Disclosure Form” along with the New Drug Application or drug monograph, respectively. 3. Members of work groups appointed by the PEFC shall submit Disclosure Statements no later than the first meeting and then annually if the work group exists for more than a year. The work group shall forward each work group members’ conflict of interest to the PEFC for their review. 4. A review of committee members’ conflict of interest shall be completed for all individuals present at each meeting. This information shall be documented in the minutes of each meeting. 5. Each facility Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee or similarly functioning committee is encouraged to adopt a similar policy. 6. New Drug Applications submitted without the HHSC Psychiatric Executive Formulary Committee Disclosure Form will be considered incomplete and returned to the requestor. 7. Failure to disclose will result in written notification and may be reported to the individual’s facility. The determination of the action shall be based on the nature on the non- disclosure.
Determining Conflict of Interest: Committee members present at the meeting shall determine if a conflict of interest exists and if it exists, the degree of conflict. The degree of conflict shall be determined based on the involvement of the individual with the manufacturer(s) as well as the role the individual plays within the Committee membership or meeting. For example, conflicts by an individual preparing a monograph for presentation at a meeting maybe viewed differently than a Committee member voting on a formulary addition.
Determination of conflict of interest is not limited to the manufacturer of the drug in the New Drug Application but shall include all relationships with manufacturers. For example, individuals
Texas HHS Psychiatric Drug Formulary 2021
B-2 shall be identified with a conflict of interest for any activities related to the products of any manufacturer that paid them, and any competing products.
Action Taken for Conflict of Interest: Action taken to minimize bias from the individual identified as having a conflict of interest shall be based on the individual’s role and relationship to the committee and the degree of conflict. Actions taken may include but are not limited to:
Committee Member identified with a significant conflict of interest
● Removal from the room during the discussion and voting on a formulary addition ● Removal from the Committee ● Having no communication with other committee members regarding the specific New Drug Application prior to any deliberations and voting.
Individual completing a monograph that is identified with a significant conflict of interest
● Identifying the specific conflict in relationship regarding the monograph verbally prior to and after the presentation of the monograph at the meeting ● Identifying the specific conflict in relationship regarding the monograph in writing at the end of monograph ● Not allowing the individual to develop a monograph Individual submitting a New Drug Application that is identified with a significant conflict of interest
● Declining to review the New Drug Application request Identification of conflict of interest and action taken regarding conflict of interest shall be documented in the minutes.
This policy applies to members of work groups as appointed by PEFC. Work groups will follow the same procedure and consequences for reporting, determining and action taken for conflict of interest.
