If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone. I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day. Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility? Thanks!

drug dosing
What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.
ex. metformin 875 mg
When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?
