Subject: a drug that sounds like Celexa- but isn't (sm)

In current med list, the doctor states what sounds like "Celexa 200 mg daily" Since the doc already listed Celexa 20 mg daily earlier in the list, I would guess that she's not just misreading the 20 mg into 200... But my brain is so stuck on that it sounds like Celexa (even though I know it's not) that I can't hear anything else.

If it helps any, patient has GERD, PTSD, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, glucose intolerance, and hypertension.

Lap band could also be a doctor shortening the phrase laparoscopic banding.  It depends on the context whether you should expand it or not.

Generic vs Brand.
Subject: Generic vs Brand.

The expander software I use is part of Softmed. It has 2 lines to put your abbreviations in. I type in a drug in lower case in the short form part and the drug as it should appear in the long form part. IE...I would put "ativan" in the short form line and "Ativan" in the long form line. Then all I ever have to do is just type the drug in all lower case and it will auto cap from my expanders. You have to do this for every drug that you find, but when you are all done, you won't have to worry about generic or brand. This works for any drug from Avelox to Zoloft and in between. I hope this helps.
