Hi,
Its being said the patient wants to take Lamisil in a pulsed dose situation. I was wondering if a hyphen is needed or not between 'pulsed' and 'dose'; or is it just 'a pulse dose' fashion?? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance! ...
The doctor is not including the word mg with doses of medication. Do I just transcribe what I hear or insert it?

I'm having a little trouble with this medication dictation.
"3. Methotrexate 25 mg/mL 0.9 cc weekly injection." Then she says "4 needles 1 mL (s/l u or unit)/125 g1."

Hey all,
I am trying to figure out if Pristiq can be dosed at 225 mg? The website I use for dosing doesn't say that. The doctor says, "two twenty-five mg daily." He doesn't say two hundred and twenty-five mg daily. However, I see that Pristiq comes in 50 mg, so if the dose was 50 mg why would he say 2 - 25 mg? LOL! Just checking to see if anyone has an idea.
Thanks,
Chris ...

Regarding the DLP - I've seen it written variously mGy-cm, mGy•cm and mGy.cm.

Anyone have a definitive answer & reference?
Thanks :) ...
