Just because they pronounce badly, depend on your drug reference resources. You have to ignore the bad pronunciation and rely on your resource materials. It is amantadine just as it says in your drug book

cozar, hydrocortothisod, nervask, topolol, pravocol, aresapainia
I think you might consider Cozaar, hydrocortisone, Norvasc, Toprol (or is the dictator saying metoprolol), Pravachol, Aranesp.
The Quick Look Drug Book I found to be the best when all I had were books to look up things. You can try www.rx.com and www.drugs.com or www.medilexicon.com
Good luck!!!

I had checked my drug book as well as an online reference and did a Google search. However, I often find that some medications are not in my reference materials and I found spelling for both ways with the Google search. (Posters often misspell things when posting on the internet). When I looked up what amantadine was used for, I found that it was an antiviral agent for Influenza or viral infection. This is not what it was being prescribed for, so I thought just maybe there could be such a drug that sounded similar. It wouldn't be the first time I have run into this. Thanks for you input.

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.

Only my take, but please don't rely exclusively on Google...sm
Subject: Only my take, but please don't rely exclusively on Google...sm
as your reference. I have been doing this for 26 or more years, home, hospital, office, clinic, radiology, every specialty, plus rad/psych, and I have seen things really messed up spelling-wise in Google, there is lots of misinformation there. I have also come up with different spellings and answers for the same thing on different days! Perhaps it is because I came into this field before the internet (gasp) and even before PCs, (gasp/faint), I find that Google is okay for a quick double-check on something you are pretty familiar with, but NOTHING beats Stedman's, Dorland's, Mosby's, and some of the other reference books. It take longer to look up, but I keep mine always handy (all three shelves) updated, and you learn and retain knowledge so much better and remember much more!! Hope I am not preachy, I just see a lot of MTs relying solely on Google and getting into trouble because of someone else's mistake that gets regurgitated up on a search.
I don't rely solely on Google either. However,
Subject: I don't rely solely on Google either. However,
if the word pops up and it is a legit medical web site then it is probably correct. I never take it at face value, I always go in and look at what it is saying, etc. But, it can point you in the right direction.
