Subject: Colace....it's not just for makin' poopie!

I worked in Family Practice for a while and they commonly recommended patient's place a few drops of Colace in their ears prior to them coming in to have it, along with the ear wax, irrigated out with a regular ol'  Waterpik (ya know, for yer teeth!) of all things!  Family practice is known for winging things a lot!

This is in regards to treatment of a woman with breast cancer.  I cannot decipher if the doctor is saying tamoxifen AFA 81 mg daily or something else.
