OTC allergy meds - Amanda

Posted: Nov 07, 2009

Hi, I'm transcribing a doctor's note that's describing the patient's allergies and how the patient has tried various OTC drugs, including 'pseudometafecin' but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to spell that correctly; I've tried all of the different variations that I can think of (sudometofecin, pseudometaphecin, etc.) and tried looking up 'allergy medications' and coming up with squat. I have a feeling I'm very close to how it may actually be spelled which is why this is becoming very frustrating. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Could he be mush-mouthing pseudoephedrine? - Varmint_hunting

Maybe...I think that's probably the closest it could be. Thanks! nm - Amanda
