Sorry, should have been more specific. Dictator is probably slurring the word "ophthalmic" drops. There is no thalmic drop. The word "thalamic" refers to something else entirely. Please just type out ophthalmic drops.

Always go by your company policy and produces. My company states:

"when the manufacturer uses all capitals, use an initial capital only so as not to give undue attention to the term in a medical report..."

you give to everyone on this board, but especially for always taking the time to provide links.  I rarely come to ask for help, but I ALWAYS open up your responses and copy the links.....which, of course, makes it easier for me not to have to ask for help.  I swear, through you I have learned so much and wanted you to know how appreciated you are for going that extra mile and providing the resources of your knowledge.  You are a Godsend to all of us here and I know I speak for many when I say, "Thank you!"
