Amisulpride (Barhemsys) PONV

We recently had a request to review and add amisulpride to our formulary by an anesthesiologist. This is a newer medication with a unique mechanism of action in the postoperative nausea/vomiting world. Curious to hear what other health systems are doing:
1) Are your anesthesiologists asking for this medication to be added to formulary?
2) If your System P&T reviewed this medication:
a.What is the formulary designation?
b.Which electronic health record platform are you using?
i.Did you add this medication to any prebuilt orders for pre-op or post-op settings?
