Extemporaneously compounded vancomycin and tobramycin ophthalmic solutions
How are sites handling compounded eye drops that have to be administered every hour? Are you keeping on ice at bedside or are they stored in the refrigerator with the expectation that the nurse should remove from Pyxis refrigerator for every administration? If at bedside how are the drops dispensed from pharmacy - label on bottom and inside a plastic bag?
