who knows though - it could be gabapentin. Maybe the doctor can't read the patient's handwriting or the patient made up their own name for it. I am just going to flag it, since it's an allergy.

Is it acceptable to type drug dosages with the number but not the unit of measure. For example Zocor 10 every night. I believe this may be confused with 10 pills instead of mg. What's acceptable on a verbatim account?

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:
* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.

I don't believe T-L would necessarily be incorrect, but LS is listed in Steadman's as lumbosacral (also L/S is acceptable). If you go by that reasoning, TL or T/L would be correct. TL seems the best one to me, only because I type LS for lumbosacral. But ask QA for the safe bet.
