Abstract: | A well-managed formulary provides pharmacy managers with opportunities for decreasing drug expenditures. Therapeutic interchange constitutes one of the many programs under a formulary system which may yield cost savings as improved patient outcomes. The process of therapeutic interchange is described and compared with therapeutic substitution and generic substitution. A procedure for developing and implementing a therapeutic interchange program is presented with case studies. |
