Posted: Jul 13, 2013

Does anyone know where I could find a list of the top 100 medications prescribed and their dosages? Maybe one of you have such a list. Hopeful!

I provided a link to a pharmacist study website. Knowing this list is a requirement to pass their certification exam. Remember to check back often as it will get updated periodically.

Thank you, but that does not give dosages. I guess I could fill it in myself on my day off. :)

The company I work for is changing over to ChartNet, with its ExpandText expander. I don't like that it has no way of adding/creating new shortcuts without using the mouse. The expander I use now is not compatible with ChartNet, and I'm wondering which expander is used by the majority of MTs....has no limit to the number of expansions/abbrevs it can hold, etc. Would welcome any suggestions. Thinking about Shorthand, but wondering what most MTs are using. ...

This is not a post for the newbie board, because I would like to address the experienced transcriptionists to talk ABOUT newbies. ("Address"?

The last word was that we should be kind to them, which we can all agree on. None of us like to see any newbie duped i ...

Seroquel 350 mg at bedtime. Magnesium 30 mL every 12 hours as needed for heartburn. Does Seroquel come in a 350 mg dose? Does magnesium come in mL and used for heartburn? These are said pretty clearly, but I've never heard of them. ...

In the course of this dictation, the dosage of Mobic has been given in two different ways. In the med list, it is listed as Mobic 15 mg daily, and in the impression/plan, it is dictated as 7.5 mg b.i.d.

This item was, at some point in time, added to our company standards/specification guidelines regarding dosages.

I have noticed a disturbing trend with the doctors I transcribe for. They will dictate medications in a dangerous way. For example Nexium 40 rather than Nexium 40 mg. They are seldom dictating mg, mcg, etc. I find this dangerous and wonder if it is laziness on their part or apathy or something else. Not to mention that it falls on the MT to "help them out" so to speak which takes time. I just find it frustrating. Thanks for listening. ...
