Results of survey--unit-dose repackaging

A survey was conducted to determine drugs that hospitals frequently package in unit-dose. There were 116 responses, identifying 606 line items of tablets or capsules, liquids, and more or less than one dosage unit being packaged. In all three categories there were 108 drugs packaged by four or more hospitals. These results have been shared with the respective manufacturers, to use in marketing these drugs in unit-dose packages.
