Subject: Help with a medication dosage please

The doctor is prescribing Solu-Medrol, what sounds like 16 mg IV.  This is being prescribed to a 9-month-old infant.  Does that sounds correct to you?  I cannot verify it.  TIA

medication and dosage help
Subject: medication and dosage help

It sounds like ultratide, but the more I hear it the more I am thinking it may be Octreotide. However, she says 15 mcg injection per meal. I cannot verify this dosage with this medication. Can anyone help here? Thanks!
PG or p.g. for medication dosage?
Subject: PG or p.g. for medication dosage?

I have a doctor who is dictating every oral medication with a PG in it, e.g. Zantac 150 mg "PG" q.8 h.  I have never heard of PG or p.g.  The patient does have a G-tube, so the only meaning I can think of is "per G-tube," but again, don't think this is a valid term.

Fosamax dosage-sent to QA
Subject: Fosamax dosage-sent to QA

I sent a note to my supervisor about the doc saying Fosamax 70 mg daily, not weekly, after  I sent it to QA and the QA person left it daily.  


THIS IS FROM MY SUPERVISOR:


I listened to the report and I heard daily--not weekly. It also can be given in a 70 mg dosage.


So, it did me no good to send it to QA or to my supervisor.  I found it weekly, but not daily.  I asked her to send me where she found it 70 mg daily, because when I do a search, nothing comes up for me.  If I am wrong, I am sorry for blowing off steam, but if I am right-- YEA ME!!!
