Is Rocephin (brand name) but probably not IV as it is an injection. Not sure what could be at the end there.

Subject: followup
Have finally found second-hand descriptions of AV Moschcowitz's 1912 publication on rectal prolapse, attributing to him a description of female rectal prolapse and its association with abnormally high/deep cul-de-sac. Still can't find definitive reference, but this would seem to be a smoking gun.
re f-up or followup
Subject: re f-up or followup
Use followup for noun and adjective forms (hyphenated is acceptable alternative)ie, the patient did not return for followup.
For verb, only follow up is correct, ie, patient will follow up with her primary care doctor.
Not sure about the esq stuff.
The above is per 2nd edition of BOS.

Followup when adjective..
Subject: Followup when adjective..
As in, "schedule a followup visit."
"Follow up" as in "The patient is to follow up with his primary care physician's office."
"Follow-up" is also sometimes used instead of "followup," but as far as I know hyphenation is becoming less and less preferred in almost all cases.

For first poster, you are definitely correct in using followup. :)
Followup or follow up
Is knowing the difference between followup and follow up really a huge deal? I can never get them straight and QA is always nagging about it.
followup or follow up

The rule most places I've seen in followup for a noun and follow up or follow-up for a verb. Any official rules floating around out there? I work for 2 different companies and the editors do it different at each.
Thank YOU for posting a followup to it!

help with followup follow up
Subject: help with followup follow up
Found this on another MT board and thought it was EXTREMELY helpful as even as QA I still get confused!
I know "follow up" is a verb and "followup" is a noun/adjective but am still having some trouble. A suggestion is to place a different noun or verb in its place. For example, use eat. He will followup/follow up next week. If you place "eat" in the sentence, "He will eat next week." you know it is a verb because the sentence still makes sense.
followup, follow up

I believe it was in Vera Pyle I learned years ago that followup (one word) is a noun, and follow up is an action, a verb. That's how I always remember it.

Is there any occasion for use of the hypen with the word followup, follow up? It seems to me the use of the hyphen is gone but just curious.
No such word as followup
Subject: No such word as followup
Okay, that is a question more than a statement, thought it would get attention and responses that way - I'm bad. I have several people use followup, but that is not a word. It is not in Webster's or Dorland's. I use only follow up or follow-up, but I never do use followup as I couldn't find a word like it to tell me when to use it. What does anyone think of that?

Shawna - that is a fantastic idea in using the word "eat". Here's a funny. When I use the word follow up as a verb, I have this one QA person who always changes it to followup, regardless of the sentence.

Yes, there is a difference. If QA is so-called nagging about it, it's probably important.
Please learn from your experience. Good feedback is worth quite a bit!

Rule of thumb for followup/follow up
A good rule of thumb I was taught in training for followup/follow up is if you can put "a" or "the" in front of followup, it is the noun form; otherwise it is the verb form. Ex.
...a/the followup appointment.
...a/the followup x-ray.
...will follow up. (You can't put "a" or "the" in front of follow up, it won't work.)
Anyway, just thought I would share something that has helped me tremendously as a newbie.
