Mini-Bag Plus (MBP) Back Order

Baxter Corporation has back ordered all sizes of their MBP bags for an unknown period of time: it may be for several weeks.

Pharmacy provides 5 medications using MBP:
Ampicillin
Imipenem
Meropenem
Pantoprazole
Piperacillin/Tazobactam
Over the next 1 - 2 weeks Pharmacy will be transitioning the presentation of these drugs back to a fully mixed product using a normal mini-bag.

Unfortunately, to minimize wastage of these drugs during the transition, Pharmacy will likely be providing these drugs in both mini-bag forms for a 1 - 3 day period around the changeover time for each drug. Thank you for your patience during this time.
