MILT Update 4013 added a new feature that looks for the generic names of medications from the NIOSH List of Antineoplastic and Other Hazardous Drugs in Healthcare Settings, 2016 in text fields. When found, MILT alerts the user that they might be working with a hazardous medication and recommends caution. This feature is provided for informational purposes only. It is not provided as, or intended to be, a substitute for expert pharmacological knowledge.
We planned to update the source list in MILT when the CDC published a new document, but unfortunately, the review and publication of the next document has been delayed for some time now.
To satisfy several requests, an interim update for MILT has been published with the following changes to the original list:
