Comments:

Due to national shortage of the nebulization solutions, the formulary status of inhaler products has been temporarily adjusted to formulary, restricted to use during the albuterol/Duoneb shortage. Upon shortage resolution, these products will automatically return to their original formulary status. See Albuterol/Duoneb Shortage Mitigation for more information. (Updated Feb 2023)
