This document represents the efforts of the Community Health Group (CHG) Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee to provide physicians and pharmacists with a method to begin to evaluate the various drug products available. The medical treatment of patients is frequently relative to the practical application of drug therapy. Due to the vast availability of medication therapy and treatment modalities, a reasonable program of drug product selection and drug usage must be developed. The goal of the CHG Medi-Cal Drug Formulary is to enhance the physician’s and pharmacist’s abilities to provide optimal cost effective drug therapy for patients.The development, maintenance, and improvement of this process are evolutionary and require constant attention. This is accomplished by the CHG P&T Committee, which is comprised of plan providers and pharmacists. The Formulary is a continually reviewed and revised list of drug products, which mirror the prevailing clinical opinion within the medical community. Unfortunately, this dynamic process does not allow this document to be completely accurate at all times. To accommodate the necessary changes of this document, updates are to be sent to providers regularly. As you use this Formulary, you are encouraged to review the information and provide your input and comments to the CHG P&T Committee.The CHG P&T Committee uses the following criteria in the evaluation of product selection for the CHG Drug Formulary:• The drug product must demonstrate unequivocal safety for medical use.• The drug product must be efficacious and be medically necessary for the treatment, maintenance or prophylaxis of the medical condition.• The drug product must demonstrate a therapeutic outcome.• The drug product must be accepted for use by the medical community.• The drug product must have an equitable cost ratio for the treatment of the medical condition
