Med dosages - me


Posted: May 22, 2010

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.

Yes Seroquel can be given up to 400 mg b.i.d. and Magnesium 30 mL is going to be M.O.M.

Thanks! nm - me

Different Dosages?
Dec 13, 2010

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? ...

Thoughts About Our Responsibility For Dosages
Dec 30, 2011

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 ...

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! ...


Doctors Who Abbreviate Drug Dosages
Jun 18, 2015

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. ...
