I would like to know what other hospitals are using to keep patients from going in to DT's since the 5% alcohol/5% dextrose 1000ml bottles have been discontinued by Hospira and B. Braun other than the denatured alcohol amps from American Reagent. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tammy

We don't have a lot of use here, so unless the clinical staff tells me something different, we'll stay with the amps. I wonder why the large bottles were DC'd?

The ASHP website only states that Hospira discontinued the product “for business reasons”. That usually means it wasn’t selling well enough
