Chapter 4.8 Pharmacologic Agents -- The segment on analgesics will be completely revamped to remove discontinued drugs (such as Darvocet, Vioxx, Bextra) and add new opioid long-acting drug formulations (such as Xtampza-ER, Nucynta-ER, Hysingla-ER). The segment on Parkinson?s disease drugs will include Parkinson's-related hallucinations & delusions drugs (e.g., pimavanserin). All other pharmacological segments, including anticonvulsants, psychotropic drugs, hematological agents (e.g., anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs), bone-metabolism regulators (e.g., osteoporosis drugs) will be fully updated. For example, under psychotropic drugs, 2 new segments will be added: a segment on selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), which include milnacipran for the management of fibromyalgia; and a segment on drugs for treatment of pseudobulbar affect, such as Nuedexta, which is a combination of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine. We will also add the following 2 new segments:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) drugs, i.e., injectable MS medications (such as interferon beta-1a and 1b, peginterferon beta-1a, glatiramer acetate), oral MS medications (such as teriflunomide, fingolimod, cladribine, siponimod, and dimethyl fumarate); and infused MS medications (such as alemtuzumab, mitoxantrone, ocrelizumab, and natalizumab); and

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) drugs, i.e., disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs or DMARDs (such as hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide, methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and minocycline); injectable RA drugs (such as abatacept, rituximab, tocilizumab, anakinra, adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, and golimumab; and Janus associated kinase inhibitors (such as tofacitinib and baricitinib).
