Medicines Formulary MEDICINES FORMULARY Medicines formulary between MCHFT and Primary Care as agreed by the Joint Medicines Management committee Introduction Welcome to the MCHFT Medicines Formulary. The formulary includes medicines that have been approved by the Joint Medicines Management Committee (JMMC) 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; GASTRO-INTESTINAL SYSTEM ................................................................................................................ 4 CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM .................................................................................................................... 8 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM .......................................................................................................................... 13 CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM ................................................................................................................ 16 INFECTIONS ............................................................................................................................................. 22 ENDOCRINE SYSTEM .............................................................................................................................. 25 OBSTETRICS, GYNAECOLOGY AND URINARY-TRACT DISORDERS .................................................. 30 MALIGNANT DISEASE AND IMMUNOSUPPRESSION ............................................................................ 33 NUTRITION AND BLOOD ......................................................................................................................... 38 MUSCULOSKELETAL AND JOINT DISORDERS ..................................................................................... 42 EYE ............................................................................................................................................................ 44 EAR, NOSE AND OROPHARYNX ............................................................................................................. 48 SKIN ........................................................................................................................................................... 49 IMMUNOLOGICAL PRODUCTS AND VACCINES .................................................................................... 54 ANAESTHESIA .......................................................................................................................................... 55 Page 1 of 56 Operation of the Formulary Items available for general prescribing and restricted items are identified according to the following colour coding; Item Colour Code Items available for general prescribing Second line/use on specialist advice Consultant prescribing only Where a drug is the subject of a NICE Technology Appraisal (TA) the reference number of the guidance is given below the drug entry. Where a drug has been approved by the Joint Medicines Management Committee (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 Committee. To request an addition to the formulary a New Product Request (NPR) form must be submitted to the JMMC. 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 JMMC, if the drug is required before the next JMMC meeting.

  • 49 Medical Vs. Surgical Methods for Second Trimester Abortion
    49 Medical vs. surgical methods for second trimester abortion Lohr et al. (2008) compared dilatation and evacuation (D&E) to medical methods of abortion in the second trimester (≥ 13 weeks), specifically intra-amniotic installation of prostaglandin F2α and mifepristone and misoprostol. The outcomes considered were complications, side-effects, completion of abortion and patient satisfaction. Although this review is from 2008, it is considered up-to-date as a recent litera- ture review revealed no additional studies which would meet inclusion criteria. Only two trials were included, one addressing each comparison. Gestational age ranged from 13 to 20 weeks among included trials. The trial quality is rated as low, given only one trial is included in each comparison and for the D&E versus mifepristone and misoprostol comparison the trial was very small (n=18) and had a primary outcome (feasibility of randomising US women to one of two methods of abor- tion) differing from the outcomes assessed in the review. The review found that the incidence of combined minor and major complications was lower with D&E compared with installation of prostaglandin F2α (Table 33). Fewer women experienced adverse events with D&E compared with mifepristone combined with misoprostol, although there were no differences in efficacy between the two groups. These results should be interpreted with caution given they are based on one small trial (n=18). The authors conclude that D&E is superior to installation of prostaglandin F2α and that the limited available evidence also favours D&E over mifepristone and misoprostol for decreased rates of adverse events.

  • Acepromazine and Chlorpromazine As Pharmaceutical-Grade Alternatives to Chlorprothixene for Pupillary Light Reflex Imaging in Mice
    Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Vol 59, No 2 Copyright 2020 March 2020 by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Pages 197–203 Acepromazine and Chlorpromazine as Pharmaceutical-grade Alternatives to Chlorprothixene for Pupillary Light Reflex Imaging in Mice Samantha S Eckley,1 Jason S Villano,1 Nora S Kuo,1 and Kwoon Y Wong2,* Studies of visual responses in isoflurane-anesthetized mice often use the sedative chlorprothixene to decrease the amount of isoflurane used because excessive isoflurane could adversely affect light-evoked responses. However, data are not available to justify the use of this nonpharmaceutical-grade chemical. The current study tested whether pharmaceutical-grade sedatives would be appropriate alternatives for imaging pupillary light reflexes. Male 15-wk-old mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 mg/kg chlorprothixene, 5 mg/kg acepromazine, 10 mg/kg chlorpromazine, or saline. After anesthetic induction, anes- thesia maintenance used 0.5% and 1% isoflurane for sedative- and saline-injected mice, respectively. A photostimulus (16.0 log photons cm−2 s−1; 470 nm) was presented to the right eye for 20 min, during which the left eye was imaged for consensual pupillary constriction and involuntary pupil drift. Time to immobilization, loss of righting reflex, physiologic parameters, gain of righting reflex, and degree of recovery were assessed also. The sedative groups were statistically indistinguishable for all measures. By contrast, pupillary drift occurred far more often in saline-treated mice than in the sedative groups. Fur- thermore, saline-treated mice took longer to reach maximal pupil constriction than all sedative groups and had lower heart rates compared with chlorpromazine- and chlorprothixene-sedated mice.

  • Inquiry Into Therapeutic Goods Amendment (Repeal of Ministerial
    1 THERAPEUTIC GOODS AMENDMENT (REPEAL OF MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR APPROVAL OF RU486) BILL 2005 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Therapeutic Goods Amendment (Repeal of Ministerial responsibility for approval of RU486) Bill 2005 (the Bill) is a private Senators' bill that was introduced into the Senate on 8 December 2005 by Senator Nash and also on behalf of Senators Troeth, Allison and Moore. On the same day, 8 December 2005, the Bill was referred on the motion of Senator Troeth to the Committee for inquiry and report by the second sitting day in 2006 (effectively 8 February 2006). 1.2 A majority of the Committee (Senators Adams and Moore dissenting) agreed that a short extension to the reporting date should be sought. Following the receipt of advice relating to Senate business programming, the Committee subsequently agreed (Senator Fielding dissenting) that it would not formally seek an extension from the Senate. THE BILL 1.3 The Bill expresses as its purpose 'to remove the responsibility for approval of RU486 from the Minister and to provide responsibility for approval of RU486 to the Therapeutic Goods Administration'.1 1.4 The Bill achieves this purpose through the amendment of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 by repealing subsection 3(1) (definition of restricted goods), section 6AA (importation of restricted goods), section 6AB (exempt goods), section 23AA (ministerial approval of evaluation, registration or listing of exempt goods) and subsection 57(9) (delegation). 1.5 Although the title and stated purpose of the Bill refer only to RU486, the provisions to be repealed by the Bill deal with abortifacient drugs, not specifically RU486.
