cozar, hydrocortothisod, nervask, topolol, pravocol, aresapainia
I think you might consider Cozaar, hydrocortisone, Norvasc, Toprol (or is the dictator saying metoprolol), Pravachol, Aranesp.
The Quick Look Drug Book I found to be the best when all I had were books to look up things. You can try www.rx.com and www.drugs.com or www.medilexicon.com
Good luck!!!

Just because they pronounce badly, depend on your drug reference resources. You have to ignore the bad pronunciation and rely on your resource materials. It is amantadine just as it says in your drug book

I had checked my drug book as well as an online reference and did a Google search. However, I often find that some medications are not in my reference materials and I found spelling for both ways with the Google search. (Posters often misspell things when posting on the internet). When I looked up what amantadine was used for, I found that it was an antiviral agent for Influenza or viral infection. This is not what it was being prescribed for, so I thought just maybe there could be such a drug that sounded similar. It wouldn't be the first time I have run into this. Thanks for you input.

In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide. It should not have to be spelled out and cannot be mistaken for hydrocortisone because there is no such thing as Benicar hydrocortisone. I would leave as is as your QA and others have stated. Hopefully this clears it up.

Insulin (sm)
Subject: Insulin (sm)
Insulin is usually the same concentration here in the US with U-100 insulin being 100 units/mL, so I don't think that it would mean 150 units/3 mL or anything like that. I'm not sure what the dictator is trying to say though. Usually a sliding scale is based on actual blood sugar minus target blood sugar divided by the correction factor. For example, my son's correction factor is 1 unit of insulin per 200 mg/dL over the target blood sugar of 120. If his blood sugar was 400, you would subtract 120 to get 280 and then divide that by 200 to get the total units of insulin, in this case 1.4 units. I know that probably doesn't help much with your report, but maybe it will be useful information for you someday.

Does anyone know of a site where I could get information regarding dosage for insulin? I have a doctor that dictates the units so quickly that I'm not sure what she wants, i.e., 6 units s/l 60 and 16, 4 sounds like 40, etc. I'm not familiar with insulin dosages and would like to learn. Thanks.
Here's the sentence currently in question if anyone can advise:
We did her A1c a couple of weeds ago and it was 8.1. I had asked her to increase her NovoLog to s/l 4 (or 40) units with breakfast, s/l 4 (or 40) units with lunch, and s/l 6 (or 16) units with supper.

My company has started voice recognition and whenever the word "insulin" is used by itself, no brand names or anything it comes in with a capital I - Insulin - I disagree with this and am trying to get the "bosses" to fix it. I think it looks silly -" patient is on Insulin" Anyone agree or disagree. Thanks in advance.
