There are so many blood pressure meds--sm

Atacort for blood pressure? sm
Subject: Atacort for blood pressure? sm

The doctor clearly says Atacort for blood pressure problems and even spells it. He's dictating the history given by the patient. It's a psych report, so not relevant to other areas of the report. I found Atacand, but they don't even sound or look alike.



I'll probably just flag it, but any help would be appreciated.
