I'd be very interested in articles too. Gail -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Cole, Darilyn - MET Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 9:13 AM To: Venous List (E-mail) Subject: Dilantin
I am revisting this topic because of an ongoing problem with dilantin precipitates in our picc lines. I want our pharmacy to stock fosphenytoin, they say it too expensive and that the problem is strictly a nursing issue. What I need to know is how have you addressed this problem in your facility. It would also be helpful to have some article references that I can pass on to the Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee on the general safety of fosphenytoin vs phentoin.
