drug dosing

What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.


ex. metformin 875 mg


When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?


Drug dosing q.4h.
Subject: Drug dosing q.4h.

What is the latest AAMT BOS standard for drug dosing such as "q.4h."  I thought I heard that it was changing to "q.4 h. or q. 4h."  Can someone clarify this for me?  Thanks!


Medication dosing
Subject: Medication dosing

If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone.  I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day.  Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility?  Thanks!

Acute polynephritis (APN) is commonly caused by an ascending urinary tract infection with E. coli. In the etiology of APN, besides the virulence of the bacterium, the resistance of the host and the reactive inflammation play an important part.
