2 Session 4: The Drug Management Cycle: Selection David Peters 2
3 Unit Objectives 1. Be able to apply evidence-based criteria for pharmaceutical product selection 2. Describe approaches to developing Essential Medicines Lists, Formularies, and Standard Treatment Guidelines 3. Recognize the challenges in implementing treatment guidelines and formulary systems and ways to overcome them 3 SEL 1
4 Session Outline 1. Introduction (case) 2. Key Definitions 3. Approaches to Implementation 4. Implementation Issues 5. Summary of Session 4 SEL 2
5 Why Be Selective With Drugs? Drugs represent a large part of the public health budget Funds are limited Large numbers of drugs are available Impossible to keep up-to-date with all the drugs on the market 5 SEL 3
6 Reasons to Support Rational Selection Promotes improved drug availability Regular drug supply can improve health outcomes Prescribers can become familiar with a smaller number of drugs Improved drug therapy can lower health care costs Procurement, storage, and distribution are simplified Buying larger quantities of fewer drugs can lower procurement costs Facilitates drug information and education efforts 6 SEL 7
7 Selection Options Formulary list = Essential medicines list Formulary manual Formulary system 7 SEL 5
8 Definition of Essential Medicines Are those that satisfy the priority health care needs of the population Are selected with due regard to public health relevance, evidence on efficacy and safety, and comparative cost-effectiveness Are intended to be available within the context of functioning health systems at all times in adequate amounts, in the appropriate dosage forms, with assured quality and adequate information and at a cost that individuals and the community can afford 8
9 Definition of a Medicines Formulary Formulary List Medicines approved for use in the health care system by authorized prescribers Formulary Manual The document that describes medicines that are available for use in the hospital and clinics (provides information and indications, dosage, length of treatment, interactions, contraindications, etc.) Source: MSH: Managing Drug Supply. 2nd ed. West Hartford, CT: Kumarian Press,
10 Standard Treatment Guideline A systematically developed statement designed to assist practitioners and patients in making decisions about appropriate treatment for specific clinical circumstances Source: MSH: Managing Drug Supply. 2nd ed. West Hartford, CT: Kumarian Press,
11 The Essential Medicines Target Registered medicines National EML Different levels of use of the EML All medicines worldwide S CHW/ Dispensary S Health center Hospital Referral hospital Supplementary specialist medicines Private sector 11 Source: MSH: Management Sciences for Health. Used with permission.
12 156 Countries with Essential Medicines Lists National Essential Medicines List < 5 years (127) > 5 years (29) No EML (19) Unknown (16) There are 156 countries with an official selective list for training, supply, reimbursement, or related health objectives. Some countries have selective state/provincial lists instead of or in addition to national lists. 12
13 Approaches to Implementation Build list based on most common health problems Start with existing list of drugs Tips: selection by committee coordinate selection and procurement activities 13 SEL 6
14 List of common diseases and complaints Treatment choice Standard treatment guidelines Essential medicines formulary Essential medicines list Training and supervision Financing and supply of drugs Prevention and care Source: MSH: Management Sciences for Health. Used with permission. 14
15 Drug Selection Criteria Need based on prevalent disease patterns Personnel capable of using the drugs Financial resources available Safety and efficacy demonstrated and documented Quality, bioavailability, and stability 15 SEL 8A
16 Drug Selection Criteria, cont. Therapeutic equivalence of drugs based on efficacy, safety, quality, price, and availability Total cost of treatment, not only the unit cost of the drug Proven advantage of combination products over single compounds being used separately 16 SEL 8B
17 Use of International Nonproprietary (Generic) Names Advantages of generic products: names are more informative often less expensive generic prescribing facilitates substitution Arguments against generic products: inferior and have bioequivalence problems names are hard to remember 17 SEL 9
18 Therapeutic Classification Schemes Provide a framework for drafting list The formulary manual is organized according to the scheme chosen It is reasonable to use or adapt an existing scheme 18 SEL 10
19 Use of Information Sources of current information are often limited Some references commonly used by formulary committees include: Martindale: The Extra Pharmacopoeia The AMA Drug Evaluations Annual The British National Formulary Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics 19
20 Role of Drug and Therapeutics Develop or adapt STGs Committees Assess adherence to STGs Develop and implement appropriate strategies to ensure adherence 20

33 Complexities in Establishing and Implementing STGs for HIV/AIDS (1) Multiple single agents and fixed-dose combinations Multiple regimens approved Differing laboratory monitoring capacities Differing and often weak pharmaceutical management capacities Different recommendations for special groups (e.g. pregnant women, children) Rapid change in recommendations due to treatment failure, drug resistance patterns, and/or new treatments becoming available Cost and logistics involved in changing from one regimen to another Need to mobilize both public and private sectors Non-pharmaceutical management and counseling issues 33
34 Why Are EMLs and STGs Not Followed? Do not reach the right people Pharmaceutical products available in facilities not on EML or STGs Lack of appropriate training in the use of STGs Lack of transparency during development process, which leads to the lack of credibility and acceptance Lack of involvement from respected members of the professional community Not based on adequate evidence Not current Not realistic finances not available to purchase 34
35 Avoiding Failure Involve a wide group of experts Have a purpose and goals Gain official status Be open Have mechanisms for additions, revisions, and use of non-formulary drugs Obtain the support of professional organizations Use medical and pharmacy schools Have a launching campaign 35 SEL 12
36 Implementing STGs Disseminate printed reference materials STGs manual, posters, training materials Official launch Ministry of Health officials and opinion leaders Initial training Vital to implementing STGs Prior to actual start date Reinforcement training Monitoring adherence to STGs Supervision 36
37 Summary Essential medicines lists, formularies and standard treatment guidelines can have considerable impact if developed and used properly STGs can also be an expensive waste of effort With STGs, the processes of production and use are as important as the product 37
