meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg
Subject: meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg

Suddenly Im very confused - I have always typed it as taken at q.h.s. but now the doc says to be taken AC and HS.  Is this typed capital letters per my Abbreviations book or a.c. and h.s.?  I have the same problem with a.m. and p.m.   I assume there is a rule about this but not sure what the latest would be.  This is a new doc and I normally do not type meds so I am rusted. Thanks in advance.

bowel obstruction, had exploratory laparotomy with adhesiolysis and enterotomy of small-bowel decompression. For meds-He also had difficulty with blood pressure control, but did obtain some reasonable semblance of control on clonidine 0.6 mg patches as well as some supplemental IV hydralazine.   switched to IV Solu-Cortif since he had been on 5 mg of Prednisone orally for his spondylitis.  He was initially started on  s/l  Clivicten on the 3rd postoperative day, but this had to be stopped.  Reglan was added to his regimen.  Cannot find what this drug would be.  Sorry so long

Zometa prescribed for insomnia?
Subject: Zometa prescribed for insomnia?

Sounds like they are stating either "Zometa" or "someta" to be prescribed for insomnia.  I can't find anything on someta (or anything close to that spelling) and Zometa looks like it is for bone health and can cause insomnia but probably isn't prescribed to prevent insomnia.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
