Quantity Limits

Quantity limits are based upon FDA guidelines, published clinical recommendations, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), as well as manufacturer packaging and labeling instructions. Limits are intended to encourage appropriate dosing. Exceptions are generally limited to chronic conditions that necessitate a quantity greater than "normal." These limits are not intended to restrict access to quantities of medications where limits would not be considered functional or appropriate. The P&T Committee recommends the following medications be limited to a defined quantity.
