Amoxicillin sodium and potassium clavulanate IV formulations
There is a formulary request to carry two amoxicillin and clavulanate IV formulations and we want to look at what we can do to mitigate errors. There are a 10:1 (2000mg/200mg) and 5:1 (500mg/100mg and 1000mg/200mg) formulations available. Wondering if this is done anywhere else or if anyone has dealt with this? If so, what steps are taken to reduce errors/mix-ups between products.
