Subject: Adult multivitamin (MVI) backorder - TPN change
Adult multivitamin (MVI) injection is on backorder, with no estimated release date. We have approximately a three-week supply on hand.
1. Please collaborate with physicians to switch adult TPN patients to oral/enteral tube multivitamin tablets/capsules, when possible.
2. Starting tomorrow, 7/15, in non-critically ill patients, please limit MVI TPN additions to MWF only.
Pediatric multivitamin (MVI) is currently stocked to sufficient levels and no immediate changes in prescribing are needed .
