Specialization Insights: The types of drugs prescribed can give insight into the provider’s areas of focus or specialization, whether it’s managing chronic conditions, addressing acute illnesses, or providing preventive care.
Cost Awareness: Learn about the total drug costs associated with these prescriptions, which may help you anticipate your own costs and coverage needs.
Patient-Centered Decision Making: Understanding a provider’s prescribing practices helps you align their expertise with your health goals, ensuring the care you receive is consistent with your expectations.

Anastrozole

Generic Name: Anastrozole
Specialty: Hematology-Oncology
Times Prescribed: 62
Number of 30-Day Refills Prescribed: 160
What is this prescription?: A nitrile and triazole derivative that acts as a selective nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor. It is used in the treatment of ESTROGEN NUCLEAR RECEPTOR-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
What is this prescription used for?: Anastrozole is used to treat breast cancer in women after menopause. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Anastrozole decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers.

Eliquis

Generic Name: Apixaban
Specialty: Hematology-Oncology
Times Prescribed: 14
Number of 30-Day Refills Prescribed: 14.9
What is this prescription used for?: Apixaban is used to prevent serious blood clots from forming due to a certain irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) or after hip/knee replacement surgery. With atrial fibrillation, part of the heart does not beat the way it should. This can lead to blood clots forming, which can travel to other parts of your body (such as the lungs or legs) or increase your risk for stroke. In the United States, apixaban is also approved to treat certain types of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis-DVT, pulmonary embolus-PE) and to prevent them from forming again. Apixaban is an anticoagulant that works by blocking certain clotting proteins in your blood.

Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen

Generic Name: Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen
Specialty: Hematology-Oncology
Times Prescribed: 18
Number of 30-Day Refills Prescribed: 18
What is this prescription used for?: This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever.

Hydroxyurea

Generic Name: Hydroxyurea
Specialty: Hematology-Oncology
Times Prescribed: 15
Number of 30-Day Refills Prescribed: 25.4

Letrozole

Generic Name: Letrozole
Specialty: Hematology-Oncology
Times Prescribed: 29
Number of 30-Day Refills Prescribed: 69
What is this prescription?: A triazole and benzonitrile derivative that is a selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, similar to ANASTROZOLE. It is used in the treatment of metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
What is this prescription used for?: This medication is used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Letrozole is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Letrozole decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers.

Specialty: Hematology-Oncology
Times Prescribed: 13
Number of 30-Day Refills Prescribed: 13
What is this prescription?: One of the long-acting synthetic ANTIDIARRHEALS; it is not significantly absorbed from the gut, and has no effect on the adrenergic system or central nervous system, but may antagonize histamine and interfere with acetylcholine release locally.
What is this prescription used for?: See also Warning section. This medication is used to treat sudden diarrhea (including traveler's diarrhea). It works by slowing down the movement of the gut.
