I appreciate your help. I have a PDR that I got from my mom. She's a RN, who just started working for Hospice actually, but I couldn't get in touch with her to ask her about this word. Anyway, she gave me her PDR, but I really like to use www.rxlist.com. I find it a very useful site especially if you don't know how to spell the name of the drug or you just have a "sounds like".

I haven't been in the business long enough to have to have gone without the internet. I can imagine you would have had to have been quite the Sherlock Holmes.
