Multiple Rxs for newly reimbursed drugs

such as Cibinqo & Newmaco S

Cibinqo 50mg 2X/4X, 100mg 2X prescription reduction target

Omega 3 first 50mg formulation Newmaco S is also doubled and adjusted

Pfizer Korea’s atopic dermatitis drug

New drugs such as Cibinqo Tab (Pfizer Korea), a treatment for atopic dermatitis, and Newmaco S, a treatment for high triglycerides, which were listed in July, were included in the list of cost-effective, high-dose oral drugs.

 

If multiple prescriptions are made for low content, the cost of claiming benefits can be reduced by exceeding the upper limit for high-content products.

 

Cibinqo Tab, a treatment for atopic dermatitis in adolescents and adults that inhibits JAK1, was listed as reimbursement through NHIS negotiations on July 1.

 

As for the JAK1 inhibitor, it is the second drug to be covered after AbbVie's Rinvoq ER 15mg for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in adolescents aged 12 years and older.

 

Three doses of 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg are listed for this drug, but you should pay attention to multiple prescriptions for 50mg and 100mg products.

 

In the case of Cibinqo 50mg, the upper limit is 11,087 won, which exceeds the upper limit of 100mg (17,739 won) and 200mg (25,942 won) when prescribed twice or 4 times.

 

If 100mg is prescribed twice, it exceeds the upper limit of 200mg and is subject to reduction.

 

Yuyu Pharmaceutical's 500mg product 'Newmaco S 500mg', which was first introduced among omega-3 preparations, should also be careful of multiple prescriptions.

 

This is because multiple prescriptions exceed the upper limit of the previously listed 1000mg product Newmaco S.

 

The upper limit of Newmaco S Soft Cap 500mg is 198 won, and the upper limit of Newmaco Soft Cap is 297 won.

 

These items are reviewed and adjusted by the difference in drug price that occurs when they are replaced with the upper limit price for high content.

 

Along with this, Gabape Capsule 100mg of Hanpoong, Kuhnletal SR Cap 100mg (Cilostazol) of Kunil Biopharmaceuticals, Prelin 25mg of Myungmoon, and Tamsu SR of Youngpoong are also added to the target items for cost-effective oral medications, so multiple prescriptions should be taken into consideration.
