Method: Prospective observational study conducted in a university hospital between March 2017 and November 2019. Consecutive patients starting everolimus were enrolled.
Objectives: The growing number of drugs on the market makes it necessary to adapt hospital formularies in order to ensure consistent drug coverage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the prescription of non-formulary drugs (NFD) on the therapeutic management of admitted patients.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included NFD prescriptions in patients hospitalised in a tertiary university hospital during the period 2012-2015.
