Drug Shortages Demand Additional Information
The ongoing shortage of drugs, and especially small volume parenteral solutions, is causing changes in methods of drug administration. The King Guide® to Parenteral Admixtures® is designed to help practitioners decide which alternative administration strategy is best.
Switching to IV push, using solutions other than saline, using large volume solutions, or using syringe infusion pumps, may change the stability and compatibility characteristics of the medication to be administered. Fortunately, King® Guide, the oldest continuously published reference on parenteral drug stability and compatibility, is designed to provide practitioners with the timely information they need in this era of drug shortages.
In Hospital Pharmacy
The online edition started as a direct replacement for the original loose-leaf King Guide. Today hospital pharmacists have access to the entire King Guide in the pharmacy, at nurses stations, on-rounds, on-call at home, on tablets and phones - all with the same user interface and no software to install or maintain.
Authoritative Information
The King® Guide to Parenteral Admixtures® exceeds TJC requirements for updated references, is NABP endorsed and listed by name by many state pharmacy boards as a required reference.
