It’s about time for simplicity and efficiency
TruDelivery® FDA-approved ready-to-use (RTU) products1-7 are easy to stock, store, and deliver
Designed for hospital pharmacies, pharmacists, and healthcare providers, TruDelivery® RTU products may help address some of the challenges facing hospital pharmacies today.
Products that require the use of a separately packaged diluent, or that require mixing, compounding, or transferring to another container for administration, all require multiple steps before the medication can be administered to a waiting patient. Even under the best circumstances, extra steps may introduce the risk of error.8-12
In the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) guidance to medication manufacturers, the agency encourages the manufacture of products specifically designed to minimize medication errors. Reducing the steps required for preparation and administration may help reduce the risk of medication error.11
