Group,
 
Please see information below regarding ceftolozane/tazobactam. Merck has issued a voluntary recall and is recommending to stop use of this medication. I did not find an active order for this medication in our three facilities. I will forward this information to the ID physicians.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
