No brand combination SMM anti-inflammatory agent is recommended for preferred status. Alabama Medicaid should accept cost proposals from manufacturers to determine cost effective products and possibly designate one or more preferred brands. There were no further discussions on the drugs in this class. Chairman Geary asked the P&T Committee Members to mark their ballots. Skin and Mucous Membrane Antipruritics and Local Anesthetics Single Entity Agents AHFS 840800 Manufacturer comments on behalf of these products: None Dr. Wenzel noted that this will be the first time the local anesthetics will be reviewed. These products are indicated to treat a variety of conditions including insect bites, burns, sunburns, atopic dermatitis, and hemorrhoids. Others are approved to provide analgesia during minor surgical procedures and diagnostic tests. Of note, the lidocaine 5% patch is approved to treat pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia and is the only product in this class to carry this indication. Currently, Prudoxin cream is the only brand topical antipruritic on the Alabama Medicaid PDL. Guidelines for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and hemorrhoids do not recommend any agent in this class for first-line use, and in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia, lidocaine patches, along with tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, pregabalin, and opioids are recommended as treatment options. Dr. Wenzel noted that the absorption of topical doxepin varies and plasma levels range from undetectable to those achieved after oral administration. Because of this, adverse effects and drug interactions may be similar to those expected of oral doxepin. Key clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of these agents were discussed. The results of studies evaluating the use of the lidocaine 5% patch indicate significantly greater efficacy of the patch compared to placebo for the treatment of neuropathic pain. There are no studies comparing the lidocaine patch to other therapies for postherpetic neuralgia. In conclusion, it is important to note that current treatment guidelines do not identify any agent in this class as a definitive first-line agent for any indication. The American Academy of Neurology recommends the use of lidocaine 5% patches as one of several treatment options for the management of postherpetic neuralgia, but does not identify lidocaine 5% patches as being preferred over these other agents. In addition, no head-to-head trials were found directly comparing the efficacy or safety of the lidocaine patch to these other therapies. Currently, there is insufficient data to support that one brand single entity SMM antipruritic or local anesthetic is safer or more efficacious than another. Therefore, all brand products within the class reviewed are comparable to each other and to the generics and OTC products in this class and offer no significant clinical advantage over other alternatives in general use. No brand single entity SMM antipruritic or local anesthetic is recommended for preferred status. Alabama Medicaid should accept cost proposals from manufacturers to determine cost effective products and possibly designate one or more preferred brands. There were no further discussions on the drugs in this class. Chairman Geary asked the P&T Committee Members to mark their ballots.

Infection Control Practitioners: Please distribute this document to the Emergency Department and medical staff. Recent events indicate that anthrax is being used in acts of terrorism. To date, contaminated letters delivered through the mail have been the apparent means of dissemination. Media coverage of these events has caused a great deal of public fear that has resulted in the need for the health-care community to be knowledgeable about this threat so that they can respond appropriately. The enclosed guidelines are intended to provide important information to health-care professionals to assist them in addressing issues related to bioterrorism BT ; . Other information will be disseminated as it becomes available. Please share this information with all appropriate medical, nursing, laboratory and pharmacy staff in your facility. Summary of Recommendations: At present, there is no evidence of human cases of anthrax in Oklahoma. Also no anthrax contaminated packages or letters have been identified. However, health professionals should remain alert for possible BT activity. Immediately report any confirmed or suspected cases of anthrax or other potential BT agents including plague, smallpox, tularemia, brucellosis ; , and any unusual disease manifestations or clusters of disease to the Oklahoma State Department of Health OSDH ; , Communicable Disease Division, 405 271-4060 24 hours day, 7 days week. ; The routine prescribing of prophylactic antibiotics in the absence of evidence that a BT event has occurred in Oklahoma is strongly discouraged. Nasal cultures for anthrax are primarily for epidemiological purposes and should not be used in the evaluation of asymptomatic patients or patients with no confirmed exposure to anthrax. Serological testing for anthrax is a developmental test at the CDC. At present it is used for epidemiological purposes and is not helpful for evaluating asymptomatic patients or patients with no confirmed exposure to anthrax. The risk of transmitting anthrax through a contaminated letter or package is extremely low. Testing of suspicious substances can be performed by the OSDH laboratory. Persons who receive threatening letters or packages should contact local law enforcement for investigation and transport to the OSDH lab. The Beers criteria define three categories of drug use or selection that are inappropriate for elderly patients. The categories, along with some exam ples are: 1. Inappropriate drug choice, i.e., medications generally to be avoided in the elderly popu lation. Examples include: a ; Long-acting benzodiazepines, including diazepam VALIUM ; , flurazepam DALMANE ; , and chlordiazepoxide LIBRIUM ; which have long half-lives. This can lead to accumulation of the drug, leading to excessive sedation and an increase in the risk of falls and frac tures. b ; Meperidine DEMEROL ; , which can cause confusion and its metabolites can lead to seizures. c ; Anticholinergics and antihistamines, in cluding diphenhydramine BENADRYL ; , chlorpheniramine CHLORTRIMETON ; , hydroxyzine ATARAX, VISTARIL ; and promethazine PHENERGAN ; . These agents have potent anticholinergic ef fects and cause confusion and sedation. Diphenhydramine may be used in the lowest effective dose and only for emer gency treatment of allergic reactions. 2. Excess dosage, i.e., medications at a dose or duration of therapy not to be exceeded. Examples include: a ; Long-term use of stimulant laxatives such as bisacodyl DULCOLAX ; and cascara sagrada, which may be appro priate in the presence of opiate analge sic use, but may exacerbate bowel dys function. b ; Doses for digoxin LANOXIN ; should not exceed 0.125 mg day except when treating atrial arrhythmias. Diminished renal clearance of this medication in creases the risk of toxicity. 3. Drug-disease interaction, i.e., medications to be avoided for patients with specific comorbid conditions. Examples include: a ; Patients with cognitive impairment re ceiving medications such as barbitu rates, anticholinergics and muscle relax ants, which can worsen cognitive per formance. b ; Patients with a history of syncope or falls receiving medications such as short or intermediate-acting benzodiazepines and tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline [ELAVIL], doxepin [SINEQUAN], and imipramine [NORPRAMIN] ; which may produce ataxia, impair psychomotor function, and increase falls. The Beers criteria are intended for persons older than 65 years of age, regardless of their level of frailty. The criteria also provide a rating of severity for adverse outcomes severe vs. less severe ; as well as a summary of the prescribing concerns as sociated with the medication. An abbreviated list of these medications can be found in Table 1. A com plete list is available at : mqa.dhs ate.tx qmweb MedSim MedSimTable1 . Today, the Beers criteria are the most widely used criteria for identifying drugs that potentially increase the likelihood of ADEs in elderly patients.12 The cri teria were adopted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services CMS ; in July 1999 for evalua tion of medication therapy in nursing home patients. Numerous studies confirm that contraindicated medication use remains a serious problem for the elderly in a variety of healthcare settings.13-15 How ever, until recently, there was no published evi dence demonstrating that the medications listed on the Beers criteria were actually associated with ad verse outcomes. In Spring 2005, a study of the as sociation between potentially contraindicated pre scribing and hospitalization and death among eld erly nursing home residents showed that: 16 a ; The risk of hospitalization was almost 30% higher among residents who, in the preced ing month, received potentially contraindi cated medications that appear on the Beers criteria, and 33% higher among residents who received these medications for two con secutive months, compared with residents with no exposure. b ; The odds of death in any month were 21% higher among residents who had exposure to these medications during the month of death or the preceding month, compared to those with no exposure. 16.

Ave you put off starting to take oral diabetes medicines? That's easy to understand. Most people want to put this off for as long as possible. But new information about type 2 diabetes and new types of medicines have changed the answer to the question, "How soon after you develop diabetes do you need to start taking diabetes medicines?. Morris Animal Foundation takes pride in our role of enabling advancements in animal health. Just as important to us are the relationships we've built with fellow animal lovers through the years. 2005 marks the 20th anniversary of our friendship with Lamplighter Judy Ditfurth, whose first donation honored a very special dog named Honcho. You may recognize Honcho from the In Loving Memory page, where he appears regularly. His name also appears on the Pet Memorial Wall in our office, alongside many other animals who have shared Judy's life. For two decades, Judy has honored her pets through memorial gifts to Morris Animal Foundation. She has also included us in her estate plans. Her generosity has played a big part in creating a healthier future for animals. We greatly appreciate her long-standing commitment to the Foundation and to animal health. Her letters may remind you of the special animals who have touched your life.
