Hello
I have had a question about the vitamin K IV drug monograph as the drug is listed as the generic name phytonadione. During an urgent situation the nurses were unable to find the monograph as Vitamin K as it was listed as the generic name. Wondering if anyone has encountered this issue? From another perspective the pharmacist responsible is hesitant to do anything with this as it may open "a can or worms" for other vitamins (Vitamin B, D). Any tips or suggestions.
