Exparel - BUPivacaine (Liposomal) Clinical Decision Support

Hello,

We are seeing an increase in the use of BUPivacaine (Liposomal) by our surgeons. How have you provided clinical decision support to not administer other local anesthetics or other formulations of bupivacaine within 96 hours following bupivacaine (liposomal) administration? Do your pharmacists receive any kind of alert?

Thank you in advance.
Damon
