Prescribers

Per FDA requirements, in order to prescribe TIKOSYN new prescribers are required to complete a one-time certification. Even if you have been certified prior to 2011, you are required to secure a one-time recertification. To become (re)certified you must review the following materials:

When you have reviewed all the materials, please print, sign, and mail or fax the Prescriber Certification Form.

The fax number is 1-800-788-2637. After we have received your certification form, we will send a written confirmation of receipt.

In addition to your certification, retail pharmacies and institutional pharmacies must also be certified in order to dispense TIKOSYN. Before dispensing a prescription for TIKOSYN, the pharmacist must confirm that you are a health care professional who has been certified and is listed in the Pfizer National TIKOSYN Database.

It is important that you tell your patients to fill their TIKOSYN prescriptions as soon as possible after they are discharged to avoid any disruptions in their treatment. Although patients must be provided with TIKOSYN upon discharge, it may take a few business days for the pharmacy to order TIKOSYN for subsequent prescriptions.

TIKOSYN is indicated for the conversion to and maintenance of normal sinus rhythm (delay in the time to recurrence of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter) in highly symptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter of greater than 1 week.

To minimize the risk of induced arrhythmia, patients initiated or re-initiated on TIKOSYN should be placed for a minimum of 3 days in a facility that can provide calculations of creatinine clearance, continuous electrocardiographic monitoring, and cardiac resuscitation (for detailed instructions regarding dose selection, see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). TIKOSYN is available only to hospitals and prescribers who have received appropriate TIKOSYN dosing and treatment initiation education (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
