SPS powder comes in both 15g and 454g bottles and dosing is typically in intervals of 15g and can be given multiple times per day. Directions on manufacturer bottle is to dose in g or use "level" teaspoons.

My question is coming from the outpatient dispensing perspective, but appreciate inpatient dispensing perspectives as well.

Questions: Do your pharmacies dispense an administration device for sodium polystyrene sulfate (SPS) powder or are patients to rely on home teaspoons?

What are the default SIGs in your CPOE for SPS powder (g or teaspoons)?
