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
