Subject: amiodarone (NEXTERONE) 150 mg premixed bags - LA-SA ALERT

Tomorrow is the go-live to begin dispensing amiodarone (NEXTERONE) 150 mg premixed bags. These have already been loaded in select Pyxis machines. This will NOT be in the adult code trays (we will continue to stock the vials in the code tray).

Be aware of the look-alike, sound-alike potential of the 150 mg and the 360 mg product. See below or attached.
