Sod Chloride 23.4%

What are you guys doing about this shortage? And seriously what is up with TPN ingredients?

Ameridose is packaging 23.4%, but just 30mL in a 100mL bag--and it is pricey!
Our clinicals are aware of this problem and have a plan.
One wonders how we can continue to make TPNs with the situation the way it is--and with no end in sight that I've noticed!
