Study Notes
Drug Evaluation Monograph
- A comprehensive document providing detailed information about a specific drug.
- Includes information about composition, indications, dosage forms, dosage recommendations, contraindications, precautions, adverse reactions, and other essential information.
- Usually authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- Drug manufacturers are required to develop a detailed drug monograph.
- Essentially a modified drug manufacturer package insert.
Purpose of Drug Evaluation Monograph
- Aims to evaluate how a drug, if added to the formulary, can be safely implemented at an institution.
- Components vary depending on the type of institution (hospital, outpatient surgery center, long-term care facility, pharmacy etc.).
Physician Drug Reference (PDR)
- A compilation of drug monographs updated annually.
- Used by physicians, pharmacists, and nurses.
Contents of the Drug Monograph
- Generic name: The adopted common name, non-proprietary name, or active ingredient.
- Brand name: Trade names specific to the manufacturer.
- Synonyms: Other names or abbreviations for the generic drug.
- Pharmacologic category: A unique systematic classification of medications.
- Indications/uses: FDA-approved uses of the drug (labeled use).
- Unlabeled or investigational use: Non-FDA approved indication for drug use.
Drug Monograph Format (Continued)
- Pharmacoeconomics: Compares the drug's price to similar products with detailed abstracts of pharmacoeconomic studies.
- Pharmacodynamics/Pharmacokinetics: Pharmacodynamics describes the drug's effects on the body (MOA). Pharmacokinetics describes the body's effect on the drug (ADME).
- Dosage: Includes dosage amounts for pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics, as well as dosage adjustments for renal or hepatic impairment.
- Dietary considerations: Explains how to take the drug relative to meals or food.
- Administration: Provides instructions on proper administration of the drug, including frequency and time frame.
- Monitoring parameters: Lists laboratory tests and patient physical parameters to be monitored for safety and efficacy.
- Dosage Forms: Details about the form, strength, and availability of the drug.
Drug Monograph Format (Continued)
- Pregnancy risk factor: The estimated risk of fetal injuries due to the drug, as directed by the mother during pregnancy.
- Lactation: Information related to drug use while breastfeeding.
- Contraindications: Situations where the drug should not be used due to potential harm.
- Warnings/precautions: Situations where the drug can be administered but require specific monitoring (BP, BG, LFTs etc.).
- Adverse reactions: Possible undesirable side effects encountered at recommended doses.
Drug Monograph Format (Continued)
-
Overdose/Toxicology: Information about exceeding the recommended drug dose leading to toxicity.
- Acute toxicity: Short-term effects after drug ingestion.
- Chronic toxicity: Effects after prolonged drug use.
- Offers guidance on handling signs and symptoms of toxicity and patient management.
- Ethanol/herbal interactions: Information regarding possible interactions with ethanol or herbal products.
- Storage/Stability: Explains storage, stability, and reconstitution instructions for the product, including time and conditions necessary to maintain full potency.
Drug Monograph Format (Continued)
-
Drug interactions: Provides a list of common and severe drug interactions with explanations and potential management strategies.
- Cytochrome P450 (CYP450): Details CYP450 enzymes responsible for metabolizing the drug and/or enzymes affected by the drug.
- Increased effect/toxicity: Drug combinations that result in increased therapeutic effect or toxicity.
- Decreased effect: Drug combinations that result in a decreased therapeutic effect.
Drug Interactions in Drug Monograph (Examples)
- Enzyme induction: An increase in the rate of enzyme synthesis.
- Enzyme inhibition: A decrease in the expression of an enzyme.
Pregnancy & Lactation in Drug Monograph
- The use of medications during pregnancy and lactation is challenging for healthcare providers, requiring careful risk-benefit assessment.
- The Pregnancy/Lactation section in a drug monograph includes clinical details on risks during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- May also include information on contraception, fertility, pregnancy testing, and pregnancy registries.
Pregnancy and Monographs
- The Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule (PLLR) has replaced the previous pregnancy letter categories (A, B, C, D, and X).
- PLLR provides a narrative structure for pregnancy labeling, allowing healthcare providers to make informed decisions based on specific risks.
Examples of Pregnancy & Lactation Sections
- Ciprofloxacin (CIPROBAY®, Bayer): Available animal and human pregnancy & lactation data.
- Doxycycline (VIBRAMYCIN®, Pfizer): Available long-term animal and short-term human pregnancy & lactation data.
- Amoxicillin (AMOXIL®, GSK): Available animal and human pregnancy & lactation data.
