These sterile medications have seen increased demand leading to drug shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

IV bags from FSS are latex-free and individually over wrapped for product protection and extended beyond-use dating. Controlled medications are tamper-sealed at the administration port to confirm drug identity and integrity.

Additional high-demand medications, like Vancomycin, Ketamine, and PHENYLephrine will be added in coming months.
