I stocked up on the UD packets as soon as I heard they were going away... we've still got a lot. Once that's out, we'll just dispense one of the large bottles to the patient and the nurse will keep it in the medroom. Same as we do for things like Byetta and other pen-dispensing medications that we can't unit dose.

We are also unit dosing our own packets. The original question Above)came from Laura, she says that they are using the Go-lytely powder in the bottles, I thought that they had some electrolytes in it along with the PEG. That could be dangerous to the patient if they didn't need the electrolytes so be careful.

I contacted our Shering rep and he has confirmed that they will in fact be bringing out a UD packets of Miralax sometime mid April. I think this is excellent news.

Thanks for passing that on! Did he mention price? Hopefully, it will be comparable to what it was.
