Formulary status of sulfonylureas

Good morning all -

We are exploring removing sulfonylureas off our formulary secondary to the risk for adverse effects. Reaching out to see if others have proceeded in this direction and, if so, what steps were taken to ensure policy was followed, non-formulary use was still safeguarded, and preventing hyperglycemia.

Thanks,

Amaris
