I feel silly asking this spelling of a non-medical word, s/l rehesitant is the word and I have noone to turn to right now to ask, so any clues?  I can pronounce it but cannot spell the darn thing.  The patient is resident or rehesitant to surgery. 


Thanks!

I have been transcribing for this doctor for some time now, and I swear he is saying


Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg S/L in-cake.


He has never used this term before, and I cannot figure out if it is an abbrev. for something or what. He never says intake, and he lists 9 other medications in this reports that does not say this. Any help appreciated..maybe I am just hungry lol
