Product enhancements such as this are a welcome addition in the pharmacy," said Louis Spinelli, BS Pharm, Clinical Ambulatory Pharmacy Specialist, The Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, NJ.
Both presentations of Dexmedetomidine HCl Injection marketed by WGCC are now available through major wholesalers and distributors. WGCC's Dexmedetomidine HCl Injection is latex-free and bar-coded at the unit of use.
