Summary
The Formulary Monograph Service provides monthly drug monographs and utilization evaluations for Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committees. This service aids in informed drug selection and medication use evaluation for healthcare facilities.
Area of Science:
- Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Clinical Pharmacy Practice
Background:
- Healthcare facilities require timely and accurate drug information for formulary management.
- Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committees need evidence-based data for drug approval and utilization decisions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the offerings of The Formulary Monograph Service.
- To highlight the value of monthly drug monographs and drug utilization evaluations (DUE/MUE) for P&T Committees and healthcare professionals.
Main Methods:
- The service delivers 5-6 detailed monographs on new or late-phase drugs monthly.
- Includes 1-page summary monographs for pharmacy and nursing in-services.
- Provides a comprehensive drug utilization evaluation/medication use evaluation (DUE/MUE) each month.
- Offers monthly drug class reviews.
Main Results:
- Subscribers receive print and online access to monographs.
- Monographs can be customized to facility-specific needs.
- February 2014 topics included sofosbuvir, simeprevir, ibrutinib, hydrocodone ER, and eslicarbazepine, with a DUE/MUE on sofosbuvir.
Conclusions:
- The Formulary Monograph Service supports informed medication management and P&T Committee decision-making.
- The service provides comprehensive resources for drug evaluation and utilization review.

02:33Retroviruses
12.1K
Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...

01:29Subviral Agents
933
Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...

01:30Inhibitors of Viral Protein Synthesis
58
Protein synthesis is indispensable for viral replication, as viruses lack the cellular machinery required for this process and must hijack the host's translational apparatus. In response, host cells deploy a critical innate immune defense involving interferons, specialized cytokines that play a central role in inhibiting viral propagation.Upon viral detection, infected cells release interferons that bind to receptors on adjacent uninfected cells, activating the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and...

01:10Retrovirus Life Cycles
43.0K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

01:01Dosage Regimen: Fixed Dose
2.3K
Fixed-dose regimens are a common approach to administer drugs to achieve and maintain desired levels of the drug in the body. In this dosing strategy, a specific amount of medication is given at regular intervals, often multiple times a day, to ensure a consistent drug concentration in the bloodstream.
Fixed-dose regimens can be used for various routes of administration, including intravenous (IV) injections and oral medications. For IV administration, a predetermined amount of the drug is...
