I have heard several rumors. One was that there was a shortage cause of the Polar Vortics making everyone sick and using more than expected. LOL
Then I heard that Baxter was being beat up by the FDA like Hospira had been several years ago. Was told that it was Barters turn to be under the microscope.
Heck I evan heard that some hospitals where hanging 0.(% Sod Chl Irrigations as IVs. Its gotten that bad!
Then I heard ( which this one I do believe) that Baxter shut down there plant at the first of the year for re-tooling and updating. They stocked what they think that they needed to get threw the down time and miss guessed, part their fault and part our fault ( cause we have a tendency to horde when we think there is a shortage). And now there is a shortage of quite a few IV solutions. Again I believe because we see a shortage we have a tendiousy to look at the bigger picture and stock up on other meds in the same family like 0.9% Sod Chl 250ml/500ml.
