Albuterol 0.5% (5 mg/mL) nebulization solution 20 mL bottles (med id 999917) are on backorder and out of stock at HH Main only. This backorder is expected to last until April 2023

We will have to use multiple albuterol 0.5% (5 mg/mL) solution 0.5 mL nebs (med id 999980) as a substitute until the backorder resolves. 
 
This will primarily affect albuterol orders for continuous use and hyperkalemia treatments. 
 
Albuterol 0.5% (5 mg/mL) nebulization solution 20 mL bottles (med id 999917) have been un-flexed from HH Main and should no longer be orderable in Cerner for Main patients.
 
Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
