Subject: Trazodone dosage ? ...sm

Has anybody ever heard of giving trazodone 270 mg daily.  I can not find it in this dosage. It comes in 50, 100, 150 and 300 mg.  Cannot find anywhere where it says given as 270 mg ?


TIA

Doctor dictates the patient takes " Patient has been on a low dose of Premarin of 0.625 mg a day, alternating every other day with 0.312 mg."

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!!!
