Mitomycin Injection Shortage - Bayview Pharmacy Can Help!
Posted on Wed, May 12, 2010 @ 02:24 PM
Mitomycin Backorder- Due to manufacturer delays mitomycin injection is currently on backorder. If you or your patients are having difficulty obtaining this medication during the mitomycin injection backorder period, Bayview Pharmacy can compound it for you.
Mitomycin injection has been shown to be useful in the therapy of disseminated adenocarcinoma of the stomach or pancreas in proven combinations with other approved chemotherapeutic agents, and as palliative treatment when other modalities have failed.
Bayview Pharmacy, Rhode Island's premier compounding pharmacy, has the ability to compound mitomycin as a sterile injectable solution. During this mitomycin shortage, prescriptions will need to be written with the request to compound, and an example of how you might prescribe follows:
Compounded Medication
Mitomycin 0.5mg/ml
Preservative Free Injection Solution
10ml (40ml & 80ml also available)
Inject as directed
We bill prescription drug insurances so your insurance co-pays should not change. We also have the ability to ship medications via UPS.
