What are age and gender limits?
Age and gender limits are restrictions on drugs designed to prevent potential harm to plan participants and promote appropriate utilization. The approval criteria are based on information from the FDA, medical literature, actively practicing consultant physicians and pharmacists, and appropriate external organizations, and are endorsed by the FutureScripts Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. For example, some drugs are only approved by the FDA for individuals older than age 14, such as ciprofloxacin, or if prescribed only for females, such as prenatal vitamins.
