In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide. It should not have to be spelled out and cannot be mistaken for hydrocortisone because there is no such thing as Benicar hydrocortisone. I would leave as is as your QA and others have stated. Hopefully this clears it up.

"as well as" does not equal "and"
Subject: "as well as" does not equal "and"
i.e., the phrase isn't a conjunction and doesn't get treated the same way in a sentence. So your first choice is correct. I find that a lot of docs dictate w, x, y as well as z. I always change this to w, x and y as well as z.
Good catch.
