Which IV drugs need to be filtered

Abstract:

This chart is an update to the 2019 article published in Hospital Pharmacy on injectable drugs to be used with a filter. To update the chart, drugs approved from January 2019 to December 2024 were reviewed to determine if they require filtration and drugs included in the 2019 table were reviewed for accuracy. Readers are urged to review national standards of practice for information about clinical situations that warrant the use of a filter for medication preparation or administration, independent of the drug being given, and the reader should consult the prescribing information for the most up-to-date information.
