I am not finding anything, except for a link to a list of nonopioids from 1981. Sorry, but things like this drive me nuts if I don't find them.

alendronate

Pronunciation: a LEN droe nate
Brand: Fosamax

What is the most important information I should know about alendronate?

�

Some forms of alendronate are taken once a day. Others are taken only once a week. It is very important that you follow your doctor's directions. If you take alendronate once a week, take it on the same day each week.

�

After swallowing the tablet or oral solution, do not lie down, remain fully upright sitting, standing or walking, for at least 30 minutes and until after you have eaten.

�

Do not take alendronate at bedtime or before getting up for the day.

�

Do not crush, chew, or suck the tablets. Swallow them whole.

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.

As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).

When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.

So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

guess is that they are talking about degrees of flexion at those 2 digits of the pinky, so it means 15 degrees and 15 degrees, if that helps you decide if you want a comma between the numbers or perhaps a back slash.
