HOW TO USE THIS FORMULARY


ORGANIZATION
The HealthPlus Drug Formulary contains information about medication coverage, generic and
preferred brand prescriptions, and information about HealthPlus Pharmacy policies and
procedures that reflect best practices in the pharmacy industry and current treatment standards.
The Formulary is organized into SECTIONS according to classes of drugs and/or disease state.
When searching for a particular drug, you may use the Find or Search function if you are
viewing the PDF document electronically. If you are viewing a paper copy, it is best to refer to
the index (see last section) under the brand or generic name. Similarly, when looking for the
drugs used to treat a particular disease state, you may use the Find or Search function or refer
to the TABLE OF FORMULARY SECTIONS starting on page iii.
CONTENT
Formulary recommendations are developed through the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee
and are based on a review of current drug information and medical literature. HealthPlus
recognizes that it is the sole responsibility of the physician to determine the best course of care
for a particular patient. The HealthPlus Drug Formulary is VOLUNTARY or OPEN, with some
restrictions for drugs included in special programs such as the Prior Authorization program
(including Step Therapy). Procedures for requesting consideration of non-Formulary drugs for
addition to the Formulary are discussed under the heading Formulary Revisions on page xvii.
This document also includes copay tier and status of drugs for a closed formulary (currently
administered only for Signature PPO products).
DRUG LISTING
For each Formulary Section, there is an alphabetic listing of medications that includes both the
commonly used brand name and the generic name. The list includes products that are
Formulary and Non-Formulary. There is also a column that indicates generic availability
(Y=yes, a generic is available). The copay level/tier is included for each medication, along with
any type of restrictions such as prior authorization, quantity limits, etc.
For Commercial/Medicaid/POS/TPA/HealthPlus Senior Program (non-Part D) products, the
following copay tiers apply:
Generic Drugs=Tier 1, lowest copay
Formulary/Preferred Brand Drugs=Tier 2, medium copay
Non-Formulary/Non-Preferred Brand Drugs=Tier 3, highest copay
NOTE: For members with a two tier copay (generic/brand), the standard brand copay applies
for all drugs in copay tiers 2 and 3. For some benefits, a fourth tier copay may apply.
In some cases, an employer group(s) may choose to place specific drugs in a different copay
tier from the standard formulary. Members have access to up-to-date information about
prescription drugs, the formulary and information specific to their benefit at the website at
www.healthplus.org.

viii

HealthPlus encourages the consideration of OTC products. In general, OTC products are not
covered for the Commercial/PPO/HealthPlus Senior Program (non-Part D) lines of business,
with the exception of insulin, insulin syringes, AEROCHAMBER, and sterile saline for
nebulization. There are some additional exceptions, including generic Claritin and Claritin-D
OTC products, Zaditor OTC and generic Nicotine Patches. These products are a covered
benefit, with a written prescription, unless specifically excluded from the members benefit. If an
OTC product is a covered product, it will be included in the category/drug listing. Specifically for
the HealthPlus Partners program, a small list of OTC products is included for coverage as
mandated by the State of Michigan. Please refer to the HealthPlus Partners (Medicaid) OTC
summary list (Appendix B) on page 110.

DEFINITIONS
1. FORMULARY: A list of medications and medical devices recommended for use under
the HealthPlus prescription drug benefit.
2. OPEN FORMULARY: A Drug Formulary that is voluntary. The HealthPlus Drug
Formulary is currently an open or voluntary Formulary, with some restrictions for drugs
included in special programs, such as the Prior Authorization program. Prescriptions for
drugs not listed in the HealthPlus Drug Formulary are still a covered benefit to the patient
as stipulated in the individual group subscriber contract, with exceptions as noted.
3. CLOSED FORMULARY: A Drug Formulary that is mandatory. In a mandatory
Formulary, prescriptions for products not listed in the Formulary are not a covered benefit
for the patient. Patients are still at liberty to use out-of-pocket expenses for nonformulary drug products.
4. PHARMACY & THERAPEUTICS COMMITTEE: An interdisciplinary committee
comprised of HealthPlus staff and community physicians and pharmacists who are
primarily responsible for the maintenance of the HealthPlus Drug Formulary, including the
evaluation and selection of drug products. The Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee
meets at least five times annually.
5. FORMULARY (Preferred) DRUGS: Drugs included in copay tier 1 or 2 in the HealthPlus
Drug Formulary or updates to the Formulary.
6. NON-FORMULARY (Non-Preferred) DRUGS: Drug products not recommended by the
Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee and included in copay tier 3. Non-formulary drugs
are still a covered benefit, in an Open Formulary, with the exception of specific
limitations. See Prescription Benefit Limitations (Appendix E, page 197).
7. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE COST (MAC): The maximum allowable cost that HealthPlus
reimburses to a pharmacy for generic medications.
8. EXCLUDED DRUGS: Drugs that are excluded from the drug benefit. Excluded drugs
that are not reimbursable to the pharmacy include (but are not limited to): products for
cosmetic use, experimental drugs and medical foods. Also, prescriptions written by a
dentist that are not included on the DENTAL FORMULARY (see page xv) are excluded.
Exclusions may also vary depending on the members benefit. See Prescription Benefit
Limitations (Appendix E, page 197) for specific limitations.
9. PRIOR AUTHORIZATION DRUGS: Drugs for which specific criteria must be met for
coverage. Criteria is usually based on appropriate selection of recommended first-line
alternatives prior to selection of the prior authorization drug. A sample prior authorization
request form is included as Appendix C, page 111.
10. STEP THERAPY: Drugs for which a first step medication is required before coverage of
the second step drug. Step therapy is a process that may be used for administering
established Prior Authorization criteria.
11. COPAYMENT: A fee charged to the member for each prescription filled. Copayments
vary depending on the members benefit level.

MEMBER PRESCRIPTION BENEFIT


For HMO Commercial/Medicaid/HealthPlus Senior Program, prescriptions must be written by a
participating physician, or a non-participating physician with the required referral (this does not
apply to PPO members). If the medication is a covered benefit, members may fill their
prescription at a participating HealthPlus pharmacy by presenting their identification card. A list
of participating pharmacies may be found in the Provider Directory, on-line at
www.healthplus.org or by contacting the Customer Service Department.
Based on the members benefit level, a copayment may be required. Copayments vary. If you
or the member has questions about copayments or deductibles (if applicable), please contact
the HealthPlus Customer Service Department at 1-800-332-9161. For specific information
about PPO members, please contact HealthPlus PPO Customer Service at 1-888-212-1512.
GENERIC SUBSTITUTION GUIDELINES
Specified drugs which have generic equivalents MUST BE DISPENSED GENERICALLY.
These drugs are identified by a Y for YES in the GEQ column in the Formulary. Maximum
Allowable Cost (MAC) limits have been established for the majority of these agents. Drug
products considered to be generically and therapeutically equivalent are pharmaceutical
equivalents that can be expected to have the same therapeutic effects when administered to
patients under the conditions specified in the labeling.
The FDA assigns a rating for all generic products. Products with a rating that begins with an A
are considered equivalent to the brand name product. Some products approved before 1962 do
not have a designated rating. Therefore, even though generic equivalents are available, no A
rating has been assigned. These products will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for addition
to the MAC list.
In cases of medical necessity, generic substitution may be overridden by the use of the
Dispense as Written notation, with Prior Authorization required in these instances (please refer
to Appendix D, page 112, Prior Authorization Criteria). For Commercial/PPO/HealthPlus Senior
Program (non-Part D) and RDS lines of business, if DAW is not medically necessary on a
generically available brand name prescription or the member chooses the brand product in the
absence of a DAW, he or she may do so by paying the difference in cost and/or any applicable
copayment. In some cases based on the members benefit level, there may be a higher copay
for branded products. For HealthPlus Partners, if the member requests the brand name drug he
or she may be responsible for the entire cost of the prescription.

xi

Generic substitution is not required for some products that may have an A rating, due to a
narrow therapeutic index. These include:
Coumadin
Depakene
Depakote
Dilantin
Lanoxin
Premarin
Synthroid
Tegretol
Theo-Dur
Narrow therapeutic index drugs are reviewed on a case by case basis for addition to the MAC
list. If a HealthPlus pharmacy submits the claim for the brand name drug, the brand name drug
is covered, and reimbursement is based on the price of the brand name drug and applicable
discounts. If a HealthPlus pharmacy submits the claim for a generic product, and the drug is
included on the MAC list, reimbursement is based on the MAC price.
PRIOR AUTHORIZATION PROGRAM
HealthPlus requires prior authorization for selected drug products based on clinical, safety, or
cost reasons. A copy of the Pharmacy Prior Authorization Form and the Prior Authorization
Criteria for medications that require prior authorization at the time of publication are included as
Appendix C and D (pages 111 and 112). Please note that the criteria documents include criteria
for Commercial/PPO/HealthPlus Senior Program (non-Part D) lines of business, HealthPlus
Partners (Medicaid) criteria, and criteria for specialty/injectable medications. For PPO,
requirements for Prior Authorization may or may not apply based on the benefit purchased by
the employer.
HealthPlus uses automated Step Therapy for some medications that require prior authorization.
This means that there are established first step drugs that must be used before the second
step drug is covered. If the pharmacy submits a claim for a second step drug, and the member
has already tried and failed the first step drug (based on a system look-back for previous
claims), the claim for the second drug will automatically be approved and paid.
For the Signature PPO Closed Formulary, an Exceptions Process is available for review of
medical necessity for coverage of non-formulary medications.The Exceptions Process also
applies to drugs that are excluded as specified by the employer.
To prescribe a medication that requires prior authorization or to submit a request for the
Exceptions Process:

The physician or office staff may complete the Pharmacy Prior Authorization form.
Fax the form to the HealthPlus Pharmacy Department:
FAX (810) 720-2757 (FLINT)
FAX (989) 797-4181 (SAGINAW)
If the patient presents a prescription to the pharmacy and prior authorization or an
exception has not been obtained, the pharmacy should contact the prescribing physician
and suggest preferred alternatives or instruct the physician to complete the Pharmacy
xii

Prior Authorization Form. For medications included in the specialty injectable program,
the physician may initiate the request for medication through the specialty vendor. The
specialty vendor will then contact HealthPlus.
7-Day Starter Dose:
To ensure that members are never in a situation where they are unable to obtain their
medication, a 7-day starter dose may be dispensed by the pharmacy when an on-line edit is
received for a medication or quantity that requires prior authorization. This override is a onetime override and is subject to audit.

If the prescribing physician is unavailable for consult, the pharmacy may dispense up to a
7-day starter dose to initiate care for the member.
Place a 06 in the denial clarification field (field 420) and enter up to a 7 for the days
supply.

Emergency Override:
Pharmacies may also override non-participating physician edits that may apply when a
prescription is written for an emergency situation. Entering 03 in the level of service field (field
418) will allow an override for emergency prescriptions only. This override is intended to be a
one-time override and is subject to audit.
If you would like an updated list of medications that require prior authorization, or if you have
questions about this program, please call the Prior Authorization line at:
Flint local phone (810) 720-2758

Toll-free phone (877) 710-0993

Note: These overrides do not apply to the Signature PPO Closed Formulary Benefit.
PHARMACY AUDIT PROGRAM
HealthPlus (or its designee) performs pharmacy audits to help ensure consistent and accurate
electronic submission of prescription claims by the pharmacy network. Prescription claim audit
activities may include a review of utilization by pharmacies, physicians, and members. The
pharmacy audit program includes desk (paper) audits, on-site audits, and an appeals process.
DRUG RECALL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM
When a particular drug product is recalled or withdrawn from the market due to safety reasons,
HealthPlus reviews prescription utilization to identify members receiving that drug. HealthPlus
notifies members and physicians affected by the recall, as appropriate.
DOSE OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM
HealthPlus administers a Dose Optimization Program to target medications that are
recommended for once daily dosing and/or support maximum dose recommendations through
quantity limits. By optimizing the dose and decreasing the frequency, patient compliance
increases and prescription costs decrease.

xiii

System edits apply for the targeted medications when prescribed more often than once daily or
above the quantity limits. Physicians may submit the standard HealthPlus Pharmacy Prior
Authorization form, with information that includes a current diagnosis and medical necessity for
the dosage regimen.
Some of the categories included in the Dose Optimization Program are: proton pump inhibitors,
HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, COX-II inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, selected
narcotic analgesics, selected antipsychotics, selected urinary incontinence drugs and selected
sleeping medications. For more information regarding the Dose Optimization Program, please
contact the HealthPlus Pharmacy Department at 1-810-720-2758 or toll-free at 1-877-710-0993.
DRUG UTILIZATION REVIEW (DUR)
HealthPlus administers a comprehensive DUR program to help ensure the quality and safety of
prescribing and dispensing medications to members. The program includes point-of-service
quality and safety edits to the pharmacist when a prescription is being filled, and retrospective
analysis of claims data (with integration of medical and pharmacy data) to identify opportunities
for educational intervention and improve quality and outcomes. For more information regarding
the DUR program, please contact the HealthPlus Pharmacy Department at 1-810-720-2758 or
toll-free at 1-877-710-0993.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES PHARMACY PROGRAM (CSPP)
HealthPlus offers services through a Controlled Substances Pharmacy Program to support the
appropriate management of pain, ensure patient safety of narcotic use, and monitor for and
prevent potential fraud and abuse of narcotics. For more information about the CSPP program,
please contact the HealthPlus Pharmacy Department at 1-810-720-2758 or toll-free at 1-877710-0993.

ASK FOR 90 RX PROGRAM


Based on their benefit, the member may be eligible for the HealthPlus Ask for 90 Rx 90-day
medication program. With the Ask for 90 Rx program, there are two options for obtaining a 90day supply of medications:
1. LOCAL PHARMACIES-Members may receive up to a 90-day supply of medication from
participating local retail pharmacies.Copay savings may apply. For more information, go
to www.healthplus.org for a Frequently Asked Questions flyer and a list of retail
pharmacies that participate in the Ask for 90 Rx program. Or, you may contact the
HealthPlus Customer Service Department.
2. MAIL SERVICE PROGRAM-Members may receive up to a 90-day of medication by mail
order through Express Scripts and have prescriptions delivered to their home with no
shipping costs.Copay savings may apply. For more information about mail service, go to
www.healthplus.org, or contact the HealthPlus Customer Service Department.
For most benefits, copay savings from both of these programs are the same. Based on their
benefit, the member pays the same copay for a 90-day supply at an Ask for 90 Rx retail
pharmacy as they do at mail order.
xiv

Most chronic medications are covered through the 90-day programs. Compounded medications
and injectable medications, with the exception of injectable diabetes medications, glucagon, EpiPen and Imitrex, are NOT covered through the 90-day programs.
To receive a 90-day supply in the Ask for 90 Rx Program, HealthPlus requires that the member
has already received a 30-day supply of the same drug and same strength within the last year
(to help assure the member is stabilized on the drug and dose before receiving a 90-day
supply). The prescription claims processing system looks for previous pharmacy claims billed to
HealthPlus for the member.
NOTE: Based on their benefit, the member may be enrolled in the Mandatory 90-Day
Medication Program. For most chronic medications, members are required to receive a 90-day
supply each time they fill their prescription at a participating local retail pharmacy or through mail
order with Express Scripts.
SPECIALTY PHARMACY PROGRAM
HealthPlus administers a specialty pharmacy program for injectable medications; including
medications administered in the physicians office and self-administered medications. For more
information about the specialty pharmacy program, please contact the HealthPlus Customer
Service Department at 1-800-332-9161. For PPO, please contact HealthPlus PPO Customer
Service at 1-888-212-1512.
NOTE: Based on their benefit, the member may be enrolled in the Mandatory Specialty
Program. For specific self-injected medications, the member is required to receive the
medication from a HealthPlus-contracted specialty pharmacy (the specialty pharmacy will mail
the medication to the physicians office or the members home). This program applies to selfinjected medications for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hepatitis C, Multiple Sclerosis, Infertility,
Endometriosis (for HealthPlus Partners), and other targeted categories.
HEALTHPLUS DENTAL FORMULARY
The HealthPlus Dental Formulary is a restricted list of pharmaceutical agents covered when
prescribed by dentists. This list was established by the Medical Affairs Committee and Board of
Directors with recommendations by the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee. In the opinion of
the Medical Affairs Committee, these medications are of established value in the treatment or
prophylaxis of dental conditions, and present a broad range of choices to meet the usual clinical
problems. These products are covered when written by a dental provider treating a patient with
a HealthPlus drug benefit. Products that are not listed on the Dental Formulary are not a
covered benefit when prescribed by a dentist. Medications listed in the Dental Formulary are
available as either oral solids or oral liquids, whichever fits the clinical situation as determined by
the prescriber. Products listed with Y for YES in the GEQ column in the Formulary, must be
filled with a generic equivalent; for these generic medications, a tier 1 copay applies. In cases
of medical necessity, generic substitution may be overridden by the use of the Dispense as
Written (DAW) notation, with prior authorization required for these instances. A copy of the
HEALTHPLUS DENTAL FORMULARY is printed on the next page.

PHARMACY & THERAPEUTICS COMMITTEE


The Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee is an interdisciplinary body made up of practicing
physicians and pharmacists from the community, in addition to staff. The committee may invite
persons within or outside the organization who can contribute specialized or unique knowledge,
skills, and judgments. The function of the committee is to serve in an evaluative, educational,
and advisory capacity to the physician providers in all matters pertaining to drug use. The
committee also provides strategic guidance for pharmacy programs. The committee is involved
in the development and updating of pharmaceutical management procedures. In addition, the
committee meets at least five times annually to evaluate drugs for inclusion in the formulary.
The recommendations of the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee are communicated to the
Medical Affairs Committee and finally sent to the Board of Directors for approval.
FORMULARY UPDATES AND REVISIONS
The Formulary is revised regularly through recommendations from the Pharmacy &
Therapeutics Committee. HealthPlus reviews medications and medication categories on an
ongoing basis to help ensure that the Drug Formulary provides an ample, up-to-date selection of
quality, cost-effective medication choices. The Formulary is revised and republished annually
with notification to providers, and is available with quarterly updates on the website at
www.healthplus.org; providers and members may also receive a printed copy upon request.
Quick-Check references that include formulary recommendations for the most-prescribed
categories are also available and updated regularly. HealthPlus routinely provides updated
information to physicians, pharmacies and members through letters, bulletins, e-mails, articles in
the newsletters, etc. The Formulary is also available for providers at www.epocrates.com for
downloading to a PDA or in an on-line version, and through various e-prescribing software
applications available to physicians.
Members may obtain up-to-date formulary and cost information specific to their benefit and
copays at www.healthplus.org. For more information, please contact the HealthPlus Pharmacy
Department at 1-810-230-2118.
Physician requests for additions to the Formulary must be made on a Request for Addition to
the Formulary form, which includes the reason for the request and any clinical data supporting
that request. Please refer to APPENDIX A (page 109) for a copy of the HEALTHPLUS
REQUEST FOR ADDITION TO THE FORMULARY form. Member requests for additions to the
formulary are forwarded to the Pharmacy Department for appropriate review and consideration.

- Add on therapy is indicated if glycemic goals are not reached/maintained after 36 months treatment
- Insulin therapy is eventually required due to progressive nature of T2DM
- Glycemic goals: A1C < 7%, or individualize to a goal < 8% based on complex
patient factors.
- More stringent goals (i.e. <6.5%) for patients if results can be achieved without
risk of hypoglycemia
- Check A1C every 3 months as therapy is changing or if goal is not met; once
goal is met, may check every 6 months
- Preprandial Plasma Glucose goal of 70-130 mg/dL
- Peak Postprandial Plasma Glucose goal of <180

** Initiation of insulin therapy is preferred over the use of three oral agents

Initiate pharmacologic management for prophylactic treatment (low dose, titrate slow)

Beta-Blocker (e.g., propranolol 40-240 mg/day or Timolol 5-30 mg/day)


Calcium Channel Blocker (e.g., verapamil 120 mg/day) - modest effect
Antidepressant (e.g., TCA, amitriptyline 10-150 mg/day, Doxepin 25-100mg QHS and Nortriptyline 10-150mg QHS)
Anti-epileptic agent (Depakote 500-1250 mg/day or Depacon 500-1250 mg/day, Gabapentin 900-2400mg/day [titrate from 300mg],
Topamax 50-200mg/day [titrate slowly from 15-25mg])
Principles of Treatment
1. Self-care techniques include avoidance of any aggravating factors associated with migraine (e.g., stress, environmental, dietary).
2. HPM formulary anti-migraine agents include: Amerge, Imitrex, and Relpax. Quantities greater than 9 tablets of anti-migraine agents per month require prior
authorization. Non-formulary triptans (Axert, Frova, , Zomig/ZMT, Treximet) require Prior Authorization.
3. Prophylactic treatment is used to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. Consider using prophylactic treatment when patient has two or more severe migraines
per month with the attacks producing disability for three or more days per month, use of abortive medication more than twice a week, failure of or contraindication to
acute treatments, or presence of uncommon migraine conditions (eg. Prolonged aura, migrainous infarction, hemiplegic migraine).
4. The MIDAS Questionnaire assesses the impact a patients migraine has on their work and social life to aid in their treatment plan. It is available at:

Treatment Recommendations
Therapeutic lifestyle changes remain an essential
modality in clinical management (i.e., cholesterollowering diet).
If pharmacologic therapy is indicated, consider
HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, niacin, bile acid
sequestrants, and fenofibrates when appropriate.
When prescribing an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor,
consider the percent reduction required, the potency
of the medication, and appropriate dosing for the
medication.
Non-HDL (VLDL + LDL-C) goal: if TG200 mg/dL
then non-HDL-C goal is [LCL-C goal + 30mg/dL]
Diabetics statin regardless of LDL if overt CVD or
age>40 with 1+ CVD risk factors; goal of therapy is
LDL <100

5)
6)
7)
8)
9)

Determine causes of pain: (Malignant vs. Non-malignant)


Differentiate type of pain: Structural (MRI) vs. Functional (EMG)
Screen for alcohol use (AUDIT tool).
Screen for depression (PHQ-2, PHQ-9).
Screen for addiction/abuse risk (DAST, DIRE)
Urine Drug Screen and blood work (e.g., CBC, ESR, LFT, BUN/SCr)
Evaluate history of pain and results of previous treatments. Evaluate fatigue for malignant pain.
Evaluate the effect of co-existing illness related to pain.
Psycho-social evaluations (e.g., impact of life, family or work, potential addiction)
If decision is made to start chronic opioid therapy (for pain greater than 3 months
duration), a written contractual agreement between patient and physician is
recommended.

FIRST STEP:
NON-OPIOIDS:
1) NSAIDs
2) Acetaminophen
3) Tramadol
+ ADJUNCTS^
Note:
NSAIDs may cause GI
bleeding/pain/ulcer
Tramadol may be
preferred for neurological
pain

SECOND STEP:

THIRD STEP:

OPIOIDS:
1) Codeine with
acetaminophen/aspirin

OPIOIDS:
1) Long-acting opioids (e.g.,
Morphine SR, Kadian, fentanyl,
extended release oxycodone,
methadone)

2) Hydrocodone or
oxycodone with
acetaminophen/aspirin

2) Short-acting opioids for


breakthrough pain (as needed)

Note:
Potential risk for
acetaminophen toxicity or
opioid addiction
Short-acting opioids
require frequent dosing

Note:
There are no dosage limits for
opioids and opioids should be
titrated to response
Adjuncts should be utilized to
minimize opioid dosage increases
Monitor potential addiction

^ADJUNCTS (see Table 7):


1) Consider diet, exercise (especially for weight bearing joints),
heat/cold applications, smoking cessation or physical therapy if needed.
2) Antidepressants (i.e., SNRI) or anticonvulsants (i.e., Neurontin, Lyrica) may be helpful for neurological type of pain.
3) Short-term muscle relaxants may be used for spasm-related pain; long-term use for pain management is NOT
recommended.

A written contractual agreement may include the following discussion:

Goals of therapy (pain relief, physical improvement or social functioning)


The requirement for a single provider or treatment team
A prohibition on use of alcohol, other sedating or illegal medications without discussing with providers
(e.g., urine drug screening and alcohol testing)
The limitation on dose, quantities or refills of prescribed medications (e.g., pill counts, no early refills).
Against changing dosage or quantities without permission
Prohibition of selling, sharing, lending or giving prescribed medications to others
Agree to keep medication safe and secure and understand the potential side effects and dependence
The option of sharing information with family members and other providers if necessary
Compliance with all components of overall treatment plan and need for periodic reevaluation
Consequences of non-adherence

Acetaminophen is considered as a first-line for treating osteoarthritis pain in elderly.


The initial dose should be reduced to 30-50% of recommended starting dose in elderly or patients with
renal dysfunction.
All nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including Cox-2 inhibitors include a boxed warning of
increased risk of cardiovascular events and serious, potential life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding
associated with their use.
When switching to different NSAIDs due to efficacy or side effects, consider selecting one from different
chemical class.
Consider PPI (i.e., generic Prilosec RX 20mg) for patients with risk of GI bleed requiring long-term NSAID
therapy.

Starting dose should be determined at 50%-75% of calculated dose from equianalgesic


conversion.

If pain is constant or recurring, consider dosing around-the-clock. Most patients with malignant pain
require fixed-schedule dosing to manage the constant pain and prevent the pain from worsening.

Determine the total 24-hour dose of the current opioid. Using the estimated equianalgesic dose, calculate
the equivalent dose of the new opioid. The starting conversion dose of the new opioid should be 50%75% of the equianalgesic dose to prevent overshooting the analgesic needs.

As needed breakthrough or rescue doses (non-opioid medications analgesics or short-acting opioids) are
helpful in titration to the optimal dose. When using short-acting for breakthrough, give opioid doses
equivalent to approximately 10% of the daily opioid dose as needed.

While treating breakthrough pain with short-acting opioids, consider using the same ingredient as the longacting opioid. Then, the total daily dose of the short-acting opioids can be calculated into the appropriate
dose for the long-acting opioids.

Dose adjustment may need to be considered in elderly or patients with renal or liver impairment.

There is no maximum dose for most opioids. Titrate the current therapy to patients response or tolerance
before switching to a different agent.

The accurate assessment of opiate allergy is necessary to distinguish a true allergy from a side effect.

These opioids are NOT recommended for chronic pain: Meperidine (Demerol, poor oral absorption, short
half-life, and neurotoxic metabolite), opioid agonist/antagonist (pentazocine, nalbuphine).

Management of Side Effects of Opioids:

- Nausea/ vomiting: Reglan 10 mg q6-8h or Compazine 10 mg q6-8h or Phenergan 25 mg q8h


- Constipation: Diet and/or Colace 200 mg BID or Senokot 2 tablets BID (may increase to 4 tablets BID)
or Dulcolax suppositories, 1 prn daily
- Pruritis: hydroxyzine 25 - 100 mg q6-8h
- Anxiety: hydroxyzine 25 - 100 mg q6-8h or Phenergan 25 50 mg q8h
- Sedation, CNS side effects: Prevention and recognition of the risks (e.g., elderly, post-surgery, impaired
renal function, combination with other sedatives)
- Opiate overdose (i.e., respiratory depression): Reverse opioids with naloxone 0.4-2 mg SC/IV/IM q2-3
minutes; if no response after 10 minutes, diagnosis should be questioned.

A sudden stop or reduction in a dose of opioid after prolonged use may result in withdrawal symptoms
(e.g., sweating, restlessness, anxiety, stomach or leg cramps, unable to sleep, increased heart rate or
blood pressure, hot or cold flashes). Death may occur. Without treatment, most symptoms may disappear
in 5 to 14 days; some symptoms (e.g., insomnia, irritability, and muscle aches) may last 2 to 6 months.
After 72 hours of withdrawal, it is unlikely that withdrawal symptoms will worsen.

(including emergency room) or filling
prescriptions at different pharmacy locations
Multiple episodes of prescription loss
Concurrent abuse of alcohol or illegal drugs
Unexpected results from urine drug screen
Evidence of sudden deterioration in the ability to
function at work or socially, which appears to be
related to drug use
Repeated requests for dose increases, early
refills, or resistance to change in therapy
