Subject: Artificial Tears

Artificial Tears are currently on backorder and HH Main has completely stocked out. Starting today at HH Main, please convert any orders for Artificial Tears to REFRESH Ophthalmic drops. Per the Artificial Tears Formulary, pharmacist have P&T approval to perform a "reverse" formulary interchange until the shortage has resolved. 

I will send another email out once we have Artificial Tears back in stock.

Thanks,

Steven
