Yep, there is a whole list of drugs affected. One of the pharmaceutical

companies either went out of business or stopped making them or something and

the other company that makes this stuff is on backorder trying to catch up with

the volume. I am not sure which company it is, but we at STEMS have been going

through D50W like water lately and can't get hold of any.

We ordered epinephrine pfs last week, and just got a call from our normal

supplier, and epinephrine pfs, D50, vecuronium, and alot of other meds are on

nation wide backorder.  Boundtree told me that there is only one company making

it, and they are trying to catch up with the volume.
