We now have a sufficient supply of Artificial Tears Solution back in stock. You can resume normal verification of this product.

 

We are still out of Artificial Tears/Lacri-Lube Ointment. I will send out another email when this resolves. (likely next week)

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
