  • Preferred Drug List 4-Tier
    Preferred Drug List 4-Tier 21NVHPN13628 Four-Tier Base Drug Benefit Guide Introduction As a member of a health plan that includes outpatient prescription drug coverage, you have access to a wide range of effective and affordable medications. The health plan utilizes a Preferred Drug List (PDL) (also known as a drug formulary) as a tool to guide providers to prescribe clinically sound yet cost-effective drugs. This list was established to give you access to the prescription drugs you need at a reasonable cost. Your out- of-pocket prescription cost is lower when you use preferred medications. Please refer to your Prescription Drug Benefit Rider or Evidence of Coverage for specific pharmacy benefit information. The PDL is a list of FDA-approved generic and brand name medications recommended for use by your health plan. The list is developed and maintained by a Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee comprised of actively practicing primary care and specialty physicians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Patient needs, scientific data, drug effectiveness, availability of drug alternatives currently on the PDL and cost are all considerations in selecting "preferred" medications. Due to the number of drugs on the market and the continuous introduction of new drugs, the PDL is a dynamic and routinely updated document screened regularly to ensure that it remains a clinically sound tool for our providers. Reading the Drug Benefit Guide Benefits for Covered Drugs obtained at a Designated Plan Pharmacy are payable according to the applicable benefit tiers described below, subject to your obtaining any required Prior Authorization or meeting any applicable Step Therapy requirement.

  • Antimicrotubule Effects of Estramustine, an Antiprostatic Tumor Drug

  • Emcyt® Estramustine Phosphate Sodium Capsules DESCRIPTION
    Emcyt® estramustine phosphate sodium capsules DESCRIPTION Estramustine phosphate sodium, an antineoplastic agent, is an off-white powder readily soluble in water. EMCYT Capsules are white and opaque, each containing estramustine phosphate sodium as the disodium salt monohydrate equivalent to 140 mg estramustine phosphate, for oral administration. Each capsule also contains magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, sodium lauryl sulfate, and talc. Gelatin capsule shells contain the following pigment: titanium dioxide. Chemically, estramustine phosphate sodium is estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-diol(17ß)-,3­ [bis(2-chloroethyl)carbamate] 17-(dihydrogen phosphate), disodium salt, monohydrate. It is also referred to as estradiol 3-[bis(2-chloroethyl)carbamate] 17-(dihydrogen phosphate), disodium salt, monohydrate. Estramustine phosphate sodium has an empiric formula of C23H30Cl2NNa2O6P•H2O, a calculated molecular weight of 582.4, and the following structural formula: CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Estramustine phosphate (Figure 1) is a molecule combining estradiol and nornitrogen mustard by a carbamate link. The molecule is phosphorylated to make it water soluble. 1 Estramustine phosphate taken orally is readily dephosphorylated during absorption, and the major metabolites in plasma are estramustine (Figure 2), the estrone analog (Figure 3), estradiol, and estrone. Prolonged treatment with estramustine phosphate produces elevated total plasma concentrations of estradiol that fall within ranges similar to the elevated estradiol levels found in prostatic cancer patients given conventional estradiol therapy. Estrogenic effects, as demonstrated by changes in circulating levels of steroids and pituitary hormones, are similar in patients treated with either estramustine phosphate or conventional estradiol. 2 The metabolic urinary patterns of the estradiol moiety of estramustine phosphate and estradiol itself are very similar, although the metabolites derived from estramustine phosphate are excreted at a slower rate.
