drug dosing
What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.
ex. metformin 875 mg
When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?
Drug dosing q.4h.
Subject: Drug dosing q.4h.
What is the latest AAMT BOS standard for drug dosing such as "q.4h." I thought I heard that it was changing to "q.4 h. or q. 4h." Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks!

cozar, hydrocortothisod, nervask, topolol, pravocol, aresapainia
I think you might consider Cozaar, hydrocortisone, Norvasc, Toprol (or is the dictator saying metoprolol), Pravachol, Aranesp.
The Quick Look Drug Book I found to be the best when all I had were books to look up things. You can try www.rx.com and www.drugs.com or www.medilexicon.com
Good luck!!!

Just because they pronounce badly, depend on your drug reference resources. You have to ignore the bad pronunciation and rely on your resource materials. It is amantadine just as it says in your drug book
relying on drug book
Subject: relying on drug book
I had checked my drug book as well as an online reference and did a Google search. However, I often find that some medications are not in my reference materials and I found spelling for both ways with the Google search. (Posters often misspell things when posting on the internet). When I looked up what amantadine was used for, I found that it was an antiviral agent for Influenza or viral infection. This is not what it was being prescribed for, so I thought just maybe there could be such a drug that sounded similar. It wouldn't be the first time I have run into this. Thanks for you input.

In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide. It should not have to be spelled out and cannot be mistaken for hydrocortisone because there is no such thing as Benicar hydrocortisone. I would leave as is as your QA and others have stated. Hopefully this clears it up.

If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone. I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day. Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility? Thanks!
