My organization has recently been approached by Hikma representatives regarding Tyzavan. Some of you may recall the Vanco Ready or "Xellia" premix bags of vancomycin (NDC 70594-041-01, among others), which were acquired by Hikma a while back. These products have an advantage as room temperature premixes of vancomycin, which is fairly unique.
Looking to see what other sites have implemented to prevent administration errors with vancomycin.
We currently use a pharmacist managed vancomycin program, where the pharmacists order and time the trough/random levels, and dose adjust as appropriate.
