For constipation, patient is being prescribed *Senna-lax-S*.  My Quick Look Drug Book does not have it at all.  Google does have it all over.  My Stedman's spellchecker marks it wrong though and wants to change it to Cenalax.  Cenalax does not come up on Google anywhere and asks if I meant 'sennalax' instead.   OY!  Anyone know which is correct?  Is my Stedman's spellchecker wrong-o?

If I can SEE the bottle and see how it is written on the actual bottle, then I take that as "gospel."  In this case I looked around and had no luck finding a picture of the bottle but did find some pictures of the SennaLax pills.  It is my thought that the "S" at the end may indicate syrup.  Is this person a child??

Primary care physicians frequently perform lumbar puncture, because cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an invaluable diagnostic window to the central nervous system (CNS). Commonly performed tests on CSF include protein and glucose levels, cell counts and differential, microscopic examination, and culture. Additional tests such as opening pressure, 'SUPERNATANT COLOR', latex agglutination, and polymerase chain reaction also may be performed. Knowing which tests to order and how to interpret them allows physicians to use CSF as a key diagnostic tool in a variety of diseases.
