Bayer aspirin question - giving me a headache! lol

Posted: Nov 08, 2010

When a patient's medication list includes Bayer aspirin, do you capitalize Aspirin? Is "Bayer Aspirin" a brand name? Or is it just "Bayer" and the aspirin part is generic?

personally... - see message

I capitalize Bayer (as the manufacturer), and lower case aspirin.

But that's just what I do. :)

Good question.

I agree, would do the same thing - orthogirl
