For constipation, patient is being prescribed *Senna-lax-S*. My Quick Look Drug Book does not have it at all. Google does have it all over. My Stedman's spellchecker marks it wrong though and wants to change it to Cenalax. Cenalax does not come up on Google anywhere and asks if I meant 'sennalax' instead. OY! Anyone know which is correct? Is my Stedman's spellchecker wrong-o?

Subject: I usually look around the internet for a picture of the bottle sm
If I can SEE the bottle and see how it is written on the actual bottle, then I take that as "gospel." In this case I looked around and had no luck finding a picture of the bottle but did find some pictures of the SennaLax pills. It is my thought that the "S" at the end may indicate syrup. Is this person a child??

Primary care physicians frequently perform lumbar puncture, because cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an invaluable diagnostic window to the central nervous system (CNS). Commonly performed tests on CSF include protein and glucose levels, cell counts and differential, microscopic examination, and culture. Additional tests such as opening pressure, 'SUPERNATANT COLOR', latex agglutination, and polymerase chain reaction also may be performed. Knowing which tests to order and how to interpret them allows physicians to use CSF as a key diagnostic tool in a variety of diseases.

Can someone please look up Dobbhoff tube for me and tell me what page it is on and what edition they have of the Stedman's? That would be Dobbhoff with TWO b's and TWO f's for my purposes, here. I need that particular spelling.
I would be SO grateful!
(Background - I was on here a while ago asking about this word. Someone was nice enough to answer me with the correct spelling as found in the Stedman's GI/GU. I used that spelling -- the one above. QA came after me. I defended myself by citing Stedman's GI/GU. QA has asked me for the edition and the page number. Well, I don't have the durn reference MYSELF, one of you nice people helped me.)
