The formulary is also known as the Prescription Drug List (PDL). A formulary identifies the drugs available for certain conditions and organizes them into cost levels, also known as tiers. An important part of the formulary is giving you choices so you and your doctor can choose the best course of treatment for you. Go to www.HealthSelectRx.com for complete and up-to-date drug information Since the formulary may change, we encourage you to visit our website, www.HealthSelectRx.com and click on Prescription Drug List. This website is the best source for up-to-date information about all of the medications your pharmacy benefit covers, possible lower-cost options and cost comparisons. 2 Understanding your Prescription Drug List/formulary What is a formulary? This document is a list of prescription Where differences exist between this medications covered by your plan for their formulary and your benefit plan documents, safety, cost and effectiveness. Medications the benefit plan documents will rule. This are listed by categories or class and may not be a complete list of medications, are placed into cost levels known as and not all medications listed may be tiers. It includes both brand and generic covered under your plan. Please look at prescription medications approved by the the Master Benefit Plan Document (MBPD) U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). provided by your plan for full details. How do I use my formulary? You and your doctor can consult the formulary to help you select the most cost-effective prescription medications. This guide tells you if a medication is generic or brand, and if special rules apply. Bring this list with you when you see your doctor. It is organized by common medical conditions. Medications are then listed alphabetically. If your medication is not listed on this document, it may not be covered by the HealthSelect Prescription Drug Program or Consumer Directed HealthSelect Prescription Drug Program. Please visit www.HealthSelectRx.com and click on Prescription Drug List for the most up to date list of medications covered under your plan. If you have any questions, call a customer care representative toll-free at (855) 828-9834 (TTY 711). What are tiers? Tiers are the different cost levels you pay for a medication. Each tier is assigned a cost, which is determined by your plan. This is how much you will pay when you fill a prescription. The HealthSelect of Texas Prescription Drug Program has different copays assigned depending on which tier a drug is. The Consumer Directed HealthSelect Prescription Drug Program has coinsurance assigned for each drug tier that applies once the annual combined medical and pharmacy deductible is met. Tier 1 medications are your lowest-cost options. If your medication is placed in Tier 2 or 3, look to see if there is a Tier 1 option available. Discuss these options with your doctor. 3 When does the formulary change? • Medications may move to a lower tier at any time. • Medications may move to a higher tier when its generic becomes available. • Medications may move to a higher tier or be excluded from coverage on January 1 or July 1 of each year. When a medication changes tiers, you may have to pay a different amount for that medication. For the most up-to-date list, call a customer care representative, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week toll-free at (855) 828-9834 (TTY 711). Why are some medications excluded from coverage? A medication may be excluded from coverage under your prescription drug plan when it works the same as or similar to another prescription medication or an over-the-counter (OTC) medication that is more cost-effective. What if I don’t agree with a decision about an excluded medication? You (or your authorized representative) and your doctor can ask for an appeal to cover an excluded medication by calling a customer care representative toll-free at (855) 828-9834 (TTY 711). 4 Medication Tips What is the difference between brand-name and generic medications? An OTC medication may be the right treatment option for some conditions. Talk Generic medications contain the same to your doctor about available OTC options. active ingredients (what makes the Even though these medications may not be medication work) as brand-name medications, covered under your pharmacy benefit, they but they often cost less. Once the patent of may cost less than prescription medications a brand-name medication ends, the FDA covered under your prescription drug plan. can approve a generic version with the same active ingredients. What if my doctor writes a brand-name prescription? If your doctor gives you a prescription for a brand-name medication, ask if a generic equivalent or lower-cost option is available and if it might be right for you. Generic medications are usually your lowest-cost option, but not always. What if I am taking a specialty medication? Specialty medications treat rare or complex conditions and are typically higher cost medications. Please note, not all specialty medications are listed in the Formulary. Optum Specialty Pharmacy can provide most of your specialty medications along with helpful programs and services. Call Optum Specialty Pharmacy at (855) 427-4682 and have your prescriptions delivered right to your home or doctor’s office. 5 Reading your formulary The formulary give your choices so you and your doctor can determine your best course of treatment.

  • Trihydroxyisoflavone Improves Skin Barrier Function Impaired by E
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A novel mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, 7,3’,4’‑trihydroxyisofavone improves skin barrier function impaired by endogenous or exogenous glucocorticoids Hanil Lee1,5, Eun‑Jeong Choi2,5, Eun Jung Kim1, Eui Dong Son2, Hyoung‑June Kim2, Won‑Seok Park2, Young‑Gyu Kang2, Kyong‑Oh Shin3, Kyungho Park3, Jin‑Chul Kim4, Su‑Nam Kim4 & Eung Ho Choi1* Excess glucocorticoids (GCs) with either endogenous or exogenous origins deteriorate skin barrier function. GCs bind to mineralocorticoid and GC receptors (MRs and GRs) in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). Inappropriate MR activation by GCs mediates various GC‑induced cutaneous adverse events. We examined whether MR antagonists can ameliorate GC‑mediated skin barrier dysfunction in NHEKs, reconstructed human epidermis (RHE), and subjects under psychological stress (PS). In a preliminary clinical investigation, topical MR antagonists improved skin barrier function in topical GC‑treated subjects. In NHEKs, cortisol induced nuclear translocation of GR and MR, and GR and MR antagonists inhibited cortisol‑induced reductions of keratinocyte diferentiation. We identifed 7,3’,4’‑trihydroxyisofavone (7,3’,4’‑THIF) as a novel compound that inhibits MR transcriptional activity by screening 30 cosmetic compounds. 7,3’,4’‑THIF ameliorated the cortisol efect which decreases keratinocyte diferentiation in NHEKs and RHE. In a clinical study on PS subjects, 7,3’,4’‑ THIF (0.1%)‑containing cream improved skin barrier function, including skin surface pH, barrier recovery rate, and stratum corneum lipids. In conclusion, skin barrier dysfunction owing to excess GC is mediated by MR and GR; thus, it could be prevented by treatment with MR antagonists. Therefore, topical MR antagonists are a promising therapeutic option for skin barrier dysfunction after topical GC treatment or PS.

  • This Fact Sheet Provides Information to Patients with Eczema and Their Carers. About Topical Corticosteroids How to Apply Topic
    This fact sheet provides information to patients with eczema and their carers. About topical corticosteroids You or your child’s doctor has prescribed a topical corticosteroid for the treatment of eczema. For treating eczema, corticosteroids are usually prepared in a cream or ointment and are applied topically (directly onto the skin). Topical corticosteroids work by reducing inflammation and helping to control an over-reactive response of the immune system at the site of eczema. They also tighten blood vessels, making less blood flow to the surface of the skin. Together, these effects help to manage the symptoms of eczema. There is a range of steroids that can be used to treat eczema, each with different strengths (potencies). On the next page, the potencies of some common steroids are shown, as well as the concentration that they are usually used in cream or ointment preparations. Using a moisturiser along with a steroid cream does not reduce the effect of the steroid. There are many misconceptions about the side effects of topical corticosteroids. However these treatments are very safe and patients are encouraged to follow the treatment regimen as advised by their doctor. How to apply topical corticosteroids How often should I apply? How much should I apply? Apply 1–2 times each day to the affected area Enough cream should be used so that the of skin according to your doctor’s instructions. entire affected area is covered. The cream can then be rubbed or massaged into the Once the steroid cream has been applied, inflamed skin. moisturisers can be used straight away if needed.

  • Pharmacology – Inhalant Anesthetics
    Pharmacology- Inhalant Anesthetics Lyon Lee DVM PhD DACVA Introduction • Maintenance of general anesthesia is primarily carried out using inhalation anesthetics, although intravenous anesthetics may be used for short procedures. • Inhalation anesthetics provide quicker changes of anesthetic depth than injectable anesthetics, and reversal of central nervous depression is more readily achieved, explaining for its popularity in prolonged anesthesia (less risk of overdosing, less accumulation and quicker recovery) (see table 1) Table 1. Comparison of inhalant and injectable anesthetics Inhalant Technique Injectable Technique Expensive Equipment Cheap (needles, syringes) Patent Airway and high O2 Not necessarily Better control of anesthetic depth Once given, suffer the consequences Ease of elimination (ventilation) Only through metabolism & Excretion Pollution No • Commonly administered inhalant anesthetics include volatile liquids such as isoflurane, halothane, sevoflurane and desflurane, and inorganic gas, nitrous oxide (N2O). Except N2O, these volatile anesthetics are chemically ‘halogenated hydrocarbons’ and all are closely related. • Physical characteristics of volatile anesthetics govern their clinical effects and practicality associated with their use.
