He has been taking "glycopilate" for his drooling problems but his wife states that things are getting quite a bit worse. He has started coughing frequently at times.  He is now taking 2 mg of "romanol" at a time without significant improvement.

I hope you all can help!  I am in search of a good website to distinguish drug names.  I am looking specifically to be able to distinguish brand names from generic and am interested in which should be capitalized, and which not?  Any good sites out there that aren't all lists with all drug names starting in caps even though they shouldn't be?

names of fingers
Subject: names of fingers

I have always heard the index finger referred to as the trigger finger.  Based on the assumption, the trigger/index finger is different than the ring finger.  I have never heard any other finger referred to with that label, but that doesn't mean I am right.

The doctor is referring to the condition "trigger finger", not the index finger. He is saying she has right ring trigger finger. Meaning that finger most likely catches or locks down with movement. I had it also and they surgically released it.
