When writing a medication list do I put commas? - salicestar


Posted: Aug 26, 2010

When writing a medication list do I put commas? 1. Xanax 1 mg dispensed #64 sig one tablet three times a day no refills. 2. Prozac 40 mg #30 sig one tablet daily no refills. 3. Stelazine 2 mg #60 sig one tablet twice a day with no refills.

Normally commas are not used anymore, however - ht

[ In Reply To ..]
in this case we are told to:

1. Xanax 1 mg, dispense #60, sig 1 tablet 3 times a day, no refills.

2. Prozac 40 mg, #30, sig 1 tablet daily, no refills.

3. Stelazine 2 mg, #60, sig 1 tablet twice a day with no refills.

PS = Per BOS you do not spell out numeric values unless 2 of them are next to each other. (take 3 two times a day).

Short Cut For List Punctuation In A Drug List? (Fluency)
Dec 06, 2014

Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list? Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace. Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma. Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming! ...
