Change in Preferred Drug List Status for the Macrolides-Ketolides Drug Class
In response to the preferred brand name product Eryped 200 MG/5 ML suspension shortage, HHSC removed the non-preferred status [ [link removed] ] from the generic erythromycin 200 MG/5 ML and E.E.S. 200 MG/5 ML suspension on the preferred drug list. The preferred status of the brand name Eryped 200 MG/5 ML suspension will not change to allow for any existing stock available to be utilized. These changes will allow providers to prescribe the generic erythromycin 200 MG/5 ML and E.E.S. 200 MG/5 ML suspension without requiring a PDL prior authorization and continue accessing necessary medication for clients.
