Which of the following drugs utilizes ZipDose Technology?

a. Olanzapine
b. Metoprolol
c. Levetiracetam
d. Fluoxetine
e. Amoxicillin


Which of the following drugs utilizes ZipDose Technology?

a. Olanzapine
b. Metoprolol
c. Levetiracetam
d. Fluoxetine
e. Amoxicillin

Answer: Levetiracetam. Levetiracetam (Spritam) is indicated for the treatment of partial onset seizures, myoclonic seizures and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in adults and children with epilepsy.
 
Spritam utilizes Aprecia's proprietary ZipDose® Technology platform, a groundbreaking advance that uses three-dimensional printing (3DP) to produce a porous formulation that rapidly disintegrates with a sip of liquid.1 While 3DP has been used previously to manufacture medical devices, this approval marks the first time a drug product manufactured with this technology has been approved by the FDA.
 
ZipDose Technology enables the delivery of a high drug load, up to 1,000 mg in a single dose. As a result, Spritam enhances the patient experience - administration of even the largest strengths of Levetiracetam (Spritam) with just a sip of liquid. In addition, with Spritam there is no measuring required as each dose is individually packaged, making it easy to carry this treatment on the go.
 
The recommended daily dose is 1000 to 3000 mg per day.
 
Sleepiness, weakness, dizziness, infection, tiredness, acting aggressive, nasal congestion, decreased appetite, and irritability are commonly reported side effects of Levetiracetam (Spritam).
 
Levetiracetam is also available under the trade names Keppra and Elepsia.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie recently signed into law a bill that will require prescribers and pharmacists to register for the state’s prescription monitoring program (PMP) and to check the database that tracks controlled substance (CS) prescriptions under certain situations. The legislation, S-1998, includes the following requirements:
 
Pharmacists will be required to consult the state PMP before dispensing a Schedule II CS if they believe the patient may be seeking the prescription for any use other than medical treatment.

Pharmacists will be required to report dispensing a CS no more than seven days after doing so.

On September 1, 2015, pharmacists will be required to report CS prescription information daily, or no more than one business day after a CS was dispensed. Pharmacists must also submit identifying information for anyone who picks up a controlled substance prescription on behalf of another patient if abuse or misuse is suspected.

Under the law, prescribers must consult the PMP the first time they prescribe a Schedule II CS to a patient for acute and chronic pain, and quarterly thereafter for patients who continue to receive such medications. More information about the new law is available in a press release from the governor’s office.
