Subject: famotidine IV shortage
Famotidine injection is on national backorder; it is estimated that we have 2 1/2 months supply at this time. Please convert all orders that meet criteria from IV famotidine to PO, beginning immediately. If the drug is not indicated, please work with the prescriber to discontinue acid suppression.
