et cetera........
and so there should be no hyphen medically either but YOU ARE SO RIGHT, depends on who you work for #1, Client profile #2....and all QA personnel because some mark you correct and some mark you incorrect when you don't use a hyphen or use a hyphen in these cases.

In the 2nd sentence I would put the comma before "and" as a complete sentence follows = ....during the day, and subsequently,.... In the final sentence = Therefore, one dose of Brethine was administered, and Stadol was given and subsequently it subsided.
