We have exhausted our supply of magnesium citrate oral solution at HH Main. 

This item has been un-flexed in Cerner so that it cannot be ordered at HH Main. 

I will send out an update when we have more product in stock. Release date is unknown.

Thanks,

Magnesium citrate oral solution is on long term backorder. As of tonight, HH Main has 5 bottles remaining in stock.  

Once our supply is exhausted, pharmacists will need to contact prescribers for alternative orders. All other laxatives are in good supply.

See FormWeb for a complete listing of our laxative formulary. 

Thanks,
