Lasix (furosemide) is given for CHF and edema. Sometimes patients alternate it as needed for their legs etc. Just a thought.
It could be K-Dur which is taken with Lasix.

WAG could it be Lasix 80 mg q.d. x7 days
Subject: WAG could it be Lasix 80 mg q.d. x7 days


Could this Lasix dose be correct?
Does Lasix 380 mg twice daily sound excessive?  The doctor originally dictated 20 mg daily and then went back and had me change it.  I saw something about a dose can be titrated up carefully to 600 mg daily with patients with severe edematous conditions........just not sure.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Unfortunately I cannot find a "rule" on this either, but if you change "bilateral" to "both" or "right and left" it does not change the meaning of the sentence but you would use the plural, tibias.

In the same way in your example, I believe it should be "examination of the hips, knees and ankles is normal bilaterally." (Consider if "bilateral" was before the word hips instead.)

Again, just my opinion -- tough question! Especially in a sentence fragment such as a diagnosis...
