Dosepak vs. dose pack
Subject: Dosepak vs. dose pack
 I know this has been asked 100 times, but i would like some clarification advise from anyone willing to give it!! Medrol Dosepak is a brand name and should be typed as such; however, i see so many times MTs typing Dosepak on things like prednisone and Sterapred. I cannot verify that anything other than Medrol should be Dosepak but is there some sort of unwritten rule i missed??? Help!! Any and all advise is appreciated.

Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol
Subject: Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol
Hi, everyone.
I'm transcribing a report in which the doc says "Patient had a hard 25 of Solu-Medrol." At least I think that's what she said. Has anyone heard of this construction used before? I have no background info on this since it's an addendum to a report dictated earlier.
Sorry I don't have more info.
Thanks.
