Versed is the brand.
Subject: Versed is the brand.

I use drugs.com when I am unsure of the spelling or capitalization, etc.

I only use rxlist for the dosage information because it is easier to find on page 2 of their site.

The FDA also has a wonderful site -

Versed? Class of medications?
Subject: Versed? Class of medications?

This doctor mentions the patient has taken valium w/o difficulty so anything of Versed? nature would be safe- is this a class of medications?  I am having difficulty finding a match through my usual google, rxlist.com, etc. 
Brand name/generic -- Versed?

Hi..I can't seem to find Versed as a brand name drug.  On searching the Internet I find Midazolam, with capitals, and even found versed in parentheses after it, but I'm pretty sure Versed is the brand and not the generic name.  Can anyone validate this?  Nothing at all comes up on www.rxlist.com.  Also send me your good web site link for looking up drugs.  Rxlist doesn't seem as good as it used to be.  Thanks.

I'm doing a Review of Records list, and it says Request for AX to refer PT to a "Psych." I was thinking it meant access, but I don't know if that would make sense. Anybody know what AX stands for in this example? Thanks!


 


P.S. If it's obvious, bear with me, I'm a newbie still. LOL


short example
Subject: short example

All four patients initially underwent surgical excisions of the pilonidal cyst followed by primary closure of the wound and application of a penrose drain. Pre-operative antibiotic treatment followed by a 10-day post-operative antibiotic course was used. Intra-operative identification of the sinus tract was made using a lacrimal probe and methylene blue injection of the sinus tract opening. Closure of the wound was accomplished with a subcutaneous 3-0 vicryl suture followed by a subcuticular 4-0 vicryl reinforced with 3-0 nylon interrupted suture. All procedures were done as same-day surgery. The drain had been pulled on initial follow-up within seven days on all the patients.

Not sure if those "xxx"  are actually part of your autocorrect format, or just "for display" only.  If I misspell a word even once, I stop right there and fix it.  Anyone else?  Any other tips?

I doubt you could get all that with one keystroke.  I don't have anything with just one key stroke.  You could, however, try something like endx that is 4 strokes, but the whole thing would pop out.  Here is what I do cad = CAD, cadx = coronary artery disease, and so on.

What I need are links to cancer terminology.  Does any onc specialist have a favorite site you could post for me?  Mostly looking for drugs and combination therapies, their abbreviations.


Thank you VERY MUCH in advance if you could help me out. 


I changed computers since doing specialized cancer and lost my links.

Got to have at least a whole sentence or you would be getting guesses at best. Try to include as much a scenario as you can in your questions. Key is to be accurate, no guesstimations allowed!! At least in MHO (my humble opinion).
