for drugs, go beyond google!!! rx.com

Subject: for drugs, go beyond google!!! rx.com

No offense meant so no flames please


Please don't just take any link from google - you have to know what's a legitimate website for transcription..........www.rx.com, www.drugs.com, or www.medilexicon.com to start.


The website we use have to be NIH (national institute of health) or Merck or REAL medical websites recognized by the medical community everywhere.


So, please expand your research and not just run here for the answer.  I'm not being rude - but if you got Vytorin spelled both ways via google - you should have done more research...also the Quik-Look Drug Index might be your BOOK of CHOICE!!


Have a nice day

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary.  There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.


As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true). 


When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong. 


So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

    Hello!  I need some help for a foreign acquaintance of mine.  He's from the Ukraine, or thereabouts, and has been having memory problems.  His doctor discussed some meds with him, but he can't remember what they were, and now he's too embarassed to ask about them again!!??  I told him I'd see if we could get a list together, in the hopes that one (or more) of them would jump off the page at him, and he'd remember what he and his Dr. discussed.  Help me!

    Subject: Sympatholytic drugs

    A sympatholytic is a medication which inhibits the functioning of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). They are used as antihypertensives.

    They mainly comprise antiadrenergic agents, but also anticholinergics in the case of the nicotinic antagonist, since nicotinic receptors relay the signals of the SNS across the ganglia

    doctor lists a whole list of meds and at the end says "simvastatin 20 mg s/l 60 and and spironolactone 25 mg q a.m."  What does the 60 have to do with anything? The only other thing it might sound like is "simvastatin 20 mg 6:00 p.m., spironolactone 25 mg q .m. but I have never heard a doctor say a specific hour to take a drug and it's really sort of a wild guess, so I would like to hear another opinion.  TIA!
