What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.
ex. metformin 875 mg
When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?

If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone. I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day. Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility? Thanks!

First sounds like Aralidide. Possibly a thyroid medication? Doctor did not state what it was for.
Second sounds like "Loptipain"? The tape may have cut out the beginning of the drug name. It is for blood pressure.
