Enlighten,

Here's a mini list that I have from a member name shal pass on to many other people here.

D5W only:

Amiodarone (Cordarone) Glass bottle
Amphotericin B (Fungizone) Protect from light
Azithromycin (Zithromax)
Nitroprusside Protect from Light
Pentamidine (Pentam 300) Avoid rapid infusion
Procainamide (Pronestyl)
SMX/TMP (Septra) Do Not Refrigerate

NS only:

Cubicin
Erythromycin (erythrocin) If using D5W must Neutralize the pH first
Metoclopramide (Reglan) IV push for 20mg or less
Methohexital (Brevital)
Metronidazole (Flagyl) Do Not Refrigerate
Phenytoin

Special cases: (D5W/NS)

Acyclovir (Zovirax) Do Not Refrigerate
Clindamycin (Cleocin) Do Not Refrigerate
Imipenem-Cilastin (Primaxin) Att: Slurryl Sln
Nitroglycerin (NTG) Glass Bottle Only
Doxycycline (Doxy 100/200) Protect from Light

All other drugs are D5W/NS compatible but don't take my words for it "Double check" with globalrph.com for more info. This is a mini list of common drugs but I was told it's sufficient for CPJE. I have to retake my cpje so let us know how it goes. Good luck w/ your exam.

I think clindamycin can also be refrigerated.

dragonet,
I believe you're refering to the premixed clindamycin (cleocin) but the powder clindamycin you don't. Would somebody clarify this for us?

@crestor2: My 90days will be up in mid Jan2010 but I'll give it couple more days since I don't want to risk it. How about you? Would you like to join our study group?

 

[crestor]

I will take it at the end of this month. Yes, I love to join the study group.
