Subject: Dosepak vs. dose pack

I know this has been asked 100 times, but i would like some clarification advise from anyone willing to give it!!  Medrol Dosepak is a brand name and should be typed as such; however, i see so many times MTs typing Dosepak on things like prednisone and Sterapred.  I cannot verify that anything other than Medrol should be Dosepak but is there some sort of unwritten rule i missed???  Help!!  Any and all advise is appreciated.

Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol
Subject: Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol

Hi, everyone.

I'm transcribing a report in which the doc says "Patient had a hard 25 of Solu-Medrol." At least I think that's what she said. Has anyone heard of this construction used before? I have no background info on this since it's an addendum to a report dictated earlier.

Sorry I don't have more info.

Thanks.

Lap band could also be a doctor shortening the phrase laparoscopic banding.  It depends on the context whether you should expand it or not.
