The use of pharmacoeconomic data in formulary selection
Abstract
Pharmacists are encouraged to improve their knowledge and use of pharmacoeconomic data in formulary selection. The formulary selection process has changed significantly in recent years. Among its most significant uses is its potential for cost containment strategies. An overview is presented of the origin as well as the potential impact of pharmacoeconomic data. The need to balance the economic benefit with the clinical advantages for any proposed new drug for formulary inclusion remains the most critical decision to be made by pharmacists.
