1 Pharmacology Overview by Drug Class Jeff Fortner, Pharm.D. Pacific University School of Pharmacy

2 Learning Objectives Recognize frequently prescribed drugs Recognize frequently prescribed drugs Identify brand/generic names, drug families, common indications, and common side effects Identify brand/generic names, drug families, common indications, and common side effects Describe some legal issues with OTCs and prescription drugs (federal and state) Describe some legal issues with OTCs and prescription drugs (federal and state)

3 How a drug goes to market FDA estimates average time for drug approval is 8.5 years Patents last 20 years Exclusivity, lasts 3-7 years, designed by FDA to promote balance between new drug innovation and generic competition. Certain drugs can be fast-tracked if there is a great need http://www.fda.gov/cder/handbook/develop.htm
