Dear colleagues,
I would like to know the process for adding a new medication on the formulary. Especially when a decision is required to select 01 brand among multiple brands available for a generic. whats the criteria for selection? who is the decision maker; the pharmacy or a Purchase dept.?
If you could share your formulary addition policy that would be of great help.
thanks,
Saharish
