Subject: then maybe a slash should go in there

Looking at various hits on Google, it looks like the acid and the mofetil are 2 different things, so maybe a slash should go in there and it should be transcribed: mycophenolic acid/mofetil field? Would you all agree?

Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash

HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide. It should not have to be spelled out and cannot be mistaken for hydrocortisone because there is no such thing as Benicar hydrocortisone. I would leave as is as your QA and others have stated. Hopefully this clears it up.
