A site grouped by dosages of meds? - cardmt

Posted: May 07, 2013

So many of these docs, I can hear the dosage clearly, but some completely slaughter the name of the med and others slur through it. Is there a site I may be able to list the dosage and search that way? I haven't found anything like this. Thanks!

here is a suggestion - sm

type in google a * and the dosage.

* 120 mg bid

Thanks, I have been doing that but doesn't always work - cardmt

I wanted to see if there was any other option. It usually works but once in awhile doesn't so I figured I'd check! Thanks for the suggestion!

Put that all in quotation marks - And you will get just that phrase

It will help narrow it down if you put your phrase in quotation marks as well as the asterisk. The quotation marks will bring up ONLY phrases in that order.

FYI: I have a Quick Look Drug Book (yes, a book!) that lists diseases in alphabetical order and their corresponding meds and recommended doses and dosages.

Oh great! That may help when - cardmt

I have some that aren't coming up no matter what. And yes, I've always used Quick Look !! I love it, but, of course, the ones I need are never in there! I don't trust these docs or what I find online 100% so sometimes, I'll use my dictionaries to confirm. Thanks for the added detail,

You Are Welcome - Love those quotes and asterisks-nm

Does anyone have a good source of labs for H&Ps that are grouped in proper groups so I can quickly look and know when to put the period and start another group? I'm looking for a quick reference sheet or something that I can refer to without having to go look up the things that I don't remember. I'm trying to learn them all but there are just so many that it's overwhelming at times. I'd even take a Word document if you have created your own references. ...

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. Does this need to be flagged or is it okay to leave it like this since the mg come out to be the same for the day? ...

This item was, at some point in time, added to our company standards/specification guidelines regarding dosages. I would like to know if other companies have this same policy, and other MTs thoughts on it. This decision must have been made by an attorney, I don't know, but I question its validity, especially on a verbatim account. MEDICATIONS: Always verify the correct spelling of medications, including the brand versus generic designation, dosa ...

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. ...

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 ...

I know we should type the sentence below as: Advair 250/50 1 puff twice a day but to me, that looks like it could be confusing when the dosage and amount of med are so close together. I know we're not supposed to do it like this but this is what I type instead: Advair 250/50 one puff twice a day. Am I committing a horrible crime here? ...

First off, is "med" an appropriate abbreviation or if I need to expand it. Also, I'm having trouble with a few of the medications she's listing. The first one sounds like Serapril...I know there's Seroquel, and that's a possibility, but it really sounds like she's saying, "pril." Is there anything else that sounds like that? The next one s/l permecidene and the last one s/l kolite. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! ...
