Meds -unsure - db87


Posted: Jul 28, 2013

I have a doctor that says his meds rather quickly, without pause.... He says this frequently and I truly do not know if it is 2 meds or one.... we have to separate our medications into numerical order.  "Glucose and glucagon prn sliding scale insulin"  Any help greatly appreciated. 

I would list them - zzt

seprately as they target different sugars in the body. Glucose is a monosaccharide and glucagon (glucagon) is a polysaccharide. Is the account verbatim? If it is verbatim I would type it as:

1. Glucose and glucagon p.r.n.
2. Insulin sliding scale.

If you can make the change to show each separately I would type it as:

1. Glucose p.r.n.
2. Glucagone p.r.n.
3. Insulin sliding scale.

Thank you - db87

Thank you. I had looked in the archives and it is a verbatim and there are two others typing this account - one had it as the:
1. glucose and glucagon p.r.n.
2. Sliding scale insulin.
The other had
1. Glucose.
2. Glucagon p.r.n.
3. Sliding scale insulin.

I appreciate the input. ;-)

I think it's... - Hmmmmmmmmm......

1. Glucose.
2. Glucagon p.r.n.
3. Sliding scale insulin.

..but that's just me.

Sorry, my fault - zzt

I should have proof read it before posting, I wasn't paying close enough attention and/or lost my place, but that is what I meant. Still, no excuse, you're right, it is just Glucose, no p.r.n. Sorry.
