NOTES

calfactant (Infasurf)

poractant (Curosurf)

It is a strong recommendation to only stock 1 neonatal surfactant due to possible medication errors. A non-formulary product should only be used if a very good clinical reason exists. Pharmacists should work with the prescriber to interchange to poractant whenever possible.
