Digoxin - lkite76
Posted: Mar 24, 2014
How would you know whether to use "digoxin" as in generic or "Digoxin" as in brand name (Canada) if it is just dictated in a list. Is there some way to know this?
Thanks!
digoxin is always generic - NM

Dictated in a list is usually first letter capped, but I would - go with lower case if in the US. sm
