Drugs used frequently to treat hospital patients, many of them critically ill, increasingly are difficult or impossible to find. Shortages causing the most disruption in care include:
_Sodium phosphate injection � electrolyte (controls heart, nerve, muscle function)
_Magnesium sulfate injection � electrolyte (controls heart, nerve, muscle function)
_Levofloxacin injection � antibiotic
_Foscarnet injection � antiviral drug
_Paclitaxel injection � chemotherapy
_Doxil injection � chemotherapy
_Prochlorperazine injection � for nausea
_Ondansetron injection � for nausea
