The UPMC for You Prescription Drug Formulary is a list of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications. This list has been developed by UPMC for You doctors and pharmacists. Medications on the formulary (drug list) that are prescribed by your doctor are covered (paid for) by UPMC for You. This website contains a list of prescription medications and a list of over-the-counter (OTC) medications.

The UPMC for You formulary includes the most commonly used drugs. It does not include every medication your doctor might prescribe. The UPMC for You formulary covers many other drugs besides the ones listed here. The drugs on the formulary were selected because they are safe, work well, and cost less than other drugs that have the same level of effectiveness.

Your doctor should order medications for you from the formulary. If your doctor writes you a prescription for a non-formulary medicine, he or she will need to contact Pharmacy Services at 1-800-396-4139 for a medical exception.
