I think what's happened is the patient has listed his meds and has spelled whatever it is wrong. My first inclination was to leave a blank. Just thought there might be something useful for it that someone was aware of.

Thanks for your help everyone.

I finally put a message to QA that I thought it was meant to be mesalamine. I'll leave it up to them.

I hated to send to QA but what are you supposed to do when the doctor is very clearly dictating something and you know it isn't correct? I was afraid if the office listened to the blank, they would report me back to the MTSO as leaving a blank that they clearly heard.

Oh well... Again, thanks all. I really do appreciate the help.

I appreciate your help. I have a PDR that I got from my mom. She's a RN, who just started working for Hospice actually, but I couldn't get in touch with her to ask her about this word. Anyway, she gave me her PDR, but I really like to use www.rxlist.com. I find it a very useful site especially if you don't know how to spell the name of the drug or you just have a "sounds like".

I haven't been in the business long enough to have to have gone without the internet. I can imagine you would have had to have been quite the Sherlock Holmes.
