Use the IV Compatibility tool to avoid potentially dangerous drug combinations.

When multiple IV medications are combined, the risk of complication is very real. Efficacy of one or more drugs can be reduced or a potentially dangerous incompatibility can occur. IV Compatibility provides easy access to Parenteral Compatibility with proven data to support safe decisions for administering injectable drug in combination. Created using information from leading IV compatibility expert, Lawrence Trissel, MS, FASHP, IV Compatibility presents compatibility results for over 70,000 parenteral drug and solution combinations.

IV Compatibility tool – Over 800 parental drugs and solutions

– More than 76,400 compatibility results

– Provide solution, Y-site, syringe, admixture information and TPN/TNA data

– Allows clinicians to make quick decisions at the point of care

– Allows for specific drug — solution searches

– Provides the ability to drill down to comprehensive study results

– In the Search Box, type the drug name (brand or generic)

– After selecting the drug name, the drug will appear below the Search Box

– You are able to select multiple drugs to search

– Searching for a solution has the same capabilities as the Search Box for drugs above

– Selecting a solution is optional – Do not search using a solution alone

Once all drugs/solutions are added, select View Compatibility button to view the compatibility results

Drug Solution overview information for single drug compatibility searches are composed of relevant common solution results and other solution results.

Drug Solution overview Information for single drug and solution selection compatibility searches are composed of matching solution results, relevant common solutions and other solution results.

Matching Solution(s) Results will display the compatibility test results of the selected drug and solution stating whether they are compatible, non-compatible, variable, uncertain, or not tested.

Compatibility details for multiple drug compatibility tests are shown in a five-column table: Drug 1, Drug 2, Status, Information, Test Parameters and then Notes if applicable.

– Filter results by Drugs and Solutions

– Select update to change filter results on page

The Y-Site tab provides a list of IV medication in alphabetical order followed by the compatibility status between the search term and the listed medication

Click on the drug pair link to view study details

The IV Compatibility Detail window shows that Variable compatibility results that have been reported for this combination depending on the infusion solution

Hover over icon within Key to view compatibility by simple description

Single drug IV Compatibility checks provide single drug TPN (2-in-1) (total parenteral nutrition) compatibility, followed by TNA (3-in-1) (total nutrient admixture) compatibility.

TPN and TNA results are not result type specific. They can be a Y-Site, solution, or admixture result. Results are composed of all compatibility tests where the drug name searched is being included with a TPN or TNA solution.

TPN/TNA compatibility details for single drug compatibility searches are shown in a four-column table:

– The first column contains the TPN or TNA name, the compatibility icon and description, delivery method, and test Notes for the test (if applicable)

– The second column shows the drug name, concentration, and manufacturer’s name

– The third column displays the physical compatibility, chemical stability (if applicable), and storage information

– The fourth column contains a link to the reference, the study period, the study methods, and the container information for this combination

– TPN/TNA compatibility results are only available when a single drug is selected for consideration

– Single drug IV Compatibility checks provide single drug TPN (2-in-1) (total parental nutrition) compatibility, followed by TNA (3-in-1) (total nutrient admixture) compatibility

– Within each TPN/TNA table, the results are sorted alphabetically by TPN or TNA admixture name, with the associated compatibility icon and description, followed by high level notes on this test

– TPN and TNA results are not result type specific
