Abstract:
As the Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) committee acts as an advisory committee on therapeutic options, it is important during pandemics, such as the current Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, to quickly search the evidence, be able to select the most appropriate therapies despite the limited evidence, and make appropriate decisions related to which drugs to procure and stock. Potential therapies and recommendations to the P&T committee at a large healthcare institution as means of a preparedness plan are reviewed here.
