Wow, wish I had some good news! As someone mentioned,
place a BO through manf. and your wholesaler, thats about the best you can do...I actually was able to get 10 vials from one of our other Provena hospitals, with alot of begging! Not sure whats going to happen when those are gone..Hang in there Kelly!
The best thing you can do is get a direct order to Hospira as soon as possible. They will fill direct before filling orders from wholesalers!
There is usually a fairly long wating period before you get your drugs, but still sooner than anyone wating to get it from Cardinal, Amerisource, etc.
I am also in the proverbial dire straits with succinylcholine. I have placed direct orders with hospira in mid July that remain unfilled. I actually borrowed some from a neighbor hospital on the premise that I would be able to replace it with product from a "gray market" vendor. That order never arrived. We have taken all the steps that we can to minimize usage and wastage, but are still a day or two from being completely out.
I am to the point where I would trade my bactrim vials!
