Ativan q.i.d. 0.5 mg to b.i.d - sm
Posted: Dec 02, 2009
Does that make sense? It is in a list of meds. Thanks.
well no but . . . sm - Hiya
[ In Reply To ..]could it be 0.5 mg 2 b.i.d. to equal the q.i.d - 4 times a day? Simply does not make sense otherwise.
Sorry but I retract previous answer sm - Hiya
[ In Reply To ..]seems to be going from dosage, 0.5 mg, given four times daily to twice daily - gee! Not a good or clear way to document, tho, it seems to me.
Ativan - or 2
[ In Reply To ..]They probably meant to say 0.5 four times a day or 2 twice a day.
With it being a medication - ask for clarification
[ In Reply To ..]Don't guess or take anyone else's suggestion on a medication dosage, especially with something like Ativan.
Type it exactly as dictated (which makes no sense) and flag it for clarification by the doctor or office.
