FDA Issues New Guidance on Promethazine

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently required labeling changes for promethazine hydrochloride injection products.

The new guidance is intended to further reduce the risk of severe chemical irritation and damage to tissues from intravenous administration of promethazine hydrochloride injection. Do you have injectable promethazine on your formulary? What steps have you taken to protect your patients?
