The eighth edition of the Palliative Care Formulary (PCF8), published by Pharmaceutical Press, the knowledge business of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, is a vital resource for healthcare professionals who provide care to patients with progressive end-stage diseases. While primarily designed with cancer patients in mind, PCF8 encompasses specific information related to various other life-limiting conditions, such as COPD, end-stage heart failure, renal and hepatic failure, and end-stage Parkinson's disease. This comprehensive title, rooted in clinical practice, offers independent information about drugs used in palliative care, highlighting off-label indications or routes, and addressing the administration of multiple drugs through continuous subcutaneous infusion.
In the latest edition, several notable updates have been made:
Renamed Monograph: The monograph on tricyclic antidepressants has been renamed to reflect its updated content. Additionally, two discontinued monographs, carbamazepine and danazol, have been removed.
Fully Reviewed and Updated Monographs: All monographs within PCF8 have undergone thorough review and revision, incorporating the latest references and evidence for their use in palliative care. This includes comprehensive coverage of individual strong opioid analgesic drug monographs, as well as Quick Clinical Guides for these medications. Antidepressants, anti-epileptics, bisphosphonates, denosumab, and drugs and fitness to drive chapters have also been extensively updated, reflecting the latest clinical guidelines and evidence-based recommendations.
Renal Impairment Chapter: The renal impairment chapter has undergone significant changes, reflecting the latest guidelines and recommendations for managing patients with renal impairment. The sections on assessment, monitoring, and management of renal impairment have been revised and expanded to provide comprehensive guidance to healthcare professionals.
These updates ensure that PCF8 remains a trusted and reliable source of information for healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with palliative care needs. By providing comprehensive and up-to-date information on drug therapy, PCF8 empowers professionals to make informed decisions and deliver optimal care to their patients.
