Policy & Procedure System_RX102 Monoclonal Antibody Dose Rounding

Key points:

• Pharmacists will evaluate orders for all monoclonal antibodies and may automatically round doses up or down to the nearest vial size “per policy,” if the rounded dose is within 10% of the original ordered dose
• If rounding occurs, “DOSE ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST VIAL SIZE PER POLICY” will be included on the medication label
• If chemotherapy, pharmacists will double check the order prior to and after any rounding
