generic vs brand
Just wondering if anyone has a good site that correctly capitalizes brand name drugs and lower cases generic drugs - thanks
Brand or generic?
Subject: Brand or generic?
The drug is basikol - he spells it, but I don't know if it should be capitalized...I don't think so, but has anyone heard of it??
Thanks.
Generic/Name Brands
I'm trying to perfect my knowledge for capitalization of generic and name brand medications.
Anybody have any tips - besides looking every single one up and memorizing which are capitalized and which are not?

Subject: Generic vs Brand.
The expander software I use is part of Softmed. It has 2 lines to put your abbreviations in. I type in a drug in lower case in the short form part and the drug as it should appear in the long form part. IE...I would put "ativan" in the short form line and "Ativan" in the long form line. Then all I ever have to do is just type the drug in all lower case and it will auto cap from my expanders. You have to do this for every drug that you find, but when you are all done, you won't have to worry about generic or brand. This works for any drug from Avelox to Zoloft and in between. I hope this helps.

As I posted earlier, Kay Ciel is a brand name of potassium chloride just like K-Dur or others. KCl is the chemical abbreviation or symbol for potassium chloride by using the periodic table. It is no different than when the doctor dictates in labs Sodium 140, K 4.2. K is potassium, Cl is chlorine which contains a chloride ion (or something like that my chemistry is rusty). Unless the doctor specifies that he means the brand name Kay Ciel, then always go with KCl the generic as that won't ever technically be wrong or a patient care error.
