Drug Formulary

A drug formulary is a list of preferred medications published by the prescription drug network service provider, RxAmerica, which offers the best value without sacrificing quality of care. A formulary is developed and maintained by a panel of practicing pharmacists and physicians. This panel, called a Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee, meets quarterly to review new drugs, and maintain the integrity of the formulary.

Studies show that the choice of the most appropriate drug through the use of a formulary results in fewer treatment failures, reduced hospitalizations, a fewer side effect. Efficient and effective use of a drug formulary helps to keep overall medical costs down.
