Subject: Knowing when a drug is generic or brand
I asked this question on yesterday, but I guess I need to clarify my question.
I am having trouble knowing when to capitalize the first letter of a medication or not when I am typing it in a sentence. What is an easy online reference that will help me to decipher this correctly?
Thanks so much for any assistance.

Generic/Name Brands
I'm trying to perfect my knowledge for capitalization of generic and name brand medications.
Anybody have any tips - besides looking every single one up and memorizing which are capitalized and which are not?

Generic vs Brand.
Subject: Generic vs Brand.
The expander software I use is part of Softmed. It has 2 lines to put your abbreviations in. I type in a drug in lower case in the short form part and the drug as it should appear in the long form part. IE...I would put "ativan" in the short form line and "Ativan" in the long form line. Then all I ever have to do is just type the drug in all lower case and it will auto cap from my expanders. You have to do this for every drug that you find, but when you are all done, you won't have to worry about generic or brand. This works for any drug from Avelox to Zoloft and in between. I hope this helps.
