We have significantly been effected by drug shortages. It effects our daily work flow and has diverted pharmacists' time and attention form other equally important duties to spend time on this issue. I have spent up to 6 hrs a day trying to find drugs for our patients. Cancer patients often do not have other options for alternative treatments. We will run out of Magnesium and leucovorin this week. I will have to spend a significant amount of time dealing with this and acting proactively. The short notice of unavailable drugs makes the situation very difficult to deal with and provide timely and safe solutions.
