Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.4K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

57
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Drug Nomenclature01:17

Drug Nomenclature

3.6K
During the development of a new pharmaceutical, the manufacturer initially assigns a code name to the drug. Once approved, the drug receives a United States Adopted Name (USAN)—a generic, nonproprietary designation. Upon being listed in the United States Pharmacopeia, this nonproprietary name becomes the drug's official name. Additionally, the manufacturer assigns a proprietary name or trademark, which serves as the brand name under which the drug is marketed. It is worth noting that...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.4K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches01:28

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

448
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Health Policy
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Growing momentum supports pharmacist prescriptive authority for medications like oral contraceptives and naloxone.
  • Pharmacist prescriptive authority is viewed by some as a shift from traditional dispensing roles.
  • Nearly all U.S. states currently permit pharmacist prescriptive authority in some capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the diverse models of pharmacist prescriptive authority across U.S. states.
  • To analyze pharmacist prescriptive authority along a continuum from restrictive to least restrictive.
  • To provide clarity on the pros and cons of different state approaches to pharmacist prescribing.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraged data from the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA).
  • Tracked pharmacy legislation and regulations across all U.S. states.
  • Categorized current pharmacist prescriptive authority models.

Main Results:

  • Identified two primary categories of pharmacist prescriptive authority: collaborative and autonomous prescribing.
  • Collaborative models offer broad frameworks for acute or chronic disease treatment.
  • Autonomous models currently focus on limited medications without requiring a specific diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Pharmacist prescriptive authority models are not mutually exclusive.
  • Anticipates an increase in states adopting less restrictive approaches to pharmacist prescribing.
  • Highlights the evolving role of pharmacists in medication management and patient care.
