Dosepak vs. dose pack
Subject: Dosepak vs. dose pack
 I know this has been asked 100 times, but i would like some clarification advise from anyone willing to give it!! Medrol Dosepak is a brand name and should be typed as such; however, i see so many times MTs typing Dosepak on things like prednisone and Sterapred. I cannot verify that anything other than Medrol should be Dosepak but is there some sort of unwritten rule i missed??? Help!! Any and all advise is appreciated.

Pack-a-day smoker versus pack-per-day smoker.
Subject: Pack-a-day smoker versus pack-per-day smoker.
It would be either "He is a two-pack-a-day smoker" or "He is a two-pack-per-day smoker.
If doc dictates "a" use that; if "per" go with that. That's what I do anyway. It makes life simpler that way. :)

Subject: Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol
Hi, everyone.
I'm transcribing a report in which the doc says "Patient had a hard 25 of Solu-Medrol." At least I think that's what she said. Has anyone heard of this construction used before? I have no background info on this since it's an addendum to a report dictated earlier.
Sorry I don't have more info.
Thanks.

pack years
Subject: pack years
Personally, I would not hyphenate that he smoked for 120 packs years as you state it, as there is no adjective describing a noun. On the other hand, I would hyphenate if he has a 120-pack-year history of smoking, because that is a triple adjective describing a noun.
