drug dosing

What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.


ex. metformin 875 mg


When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?


Drug dosing q.4h.
Subject: Drug dosing q.4h.

What is the latest AAMT BOS standard for drug dosing such as "q.4h."  I thought I heard that it was changing to "q.4 h. or q. 4h."  Can someone clarify this for me?  Thanks!


Medication dosing
Subject: Medication dosing

If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone.  I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day.  Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility?  Thanks!

We have a lot of Asian patients in this practice and it is probably what he was dictating. That's what I like about this business - you learn something new EVERY day! That's also what's great about our MT boards - MTs willing to help each other continually learn.
