Synthroid 50 mcg daily s/l ?ACB? - Help me MT

Posted: Jan 12, 2012

Physician dictates the patient is taking Synthroid 50 mcg ACB. What is this? Should it be ACB, a.c.b. ?? Can't verify this anywhere. Thanks for your help!

one of my docs does this... - SM

she uses these abbreviations but for her they mean i.e. ACB (a.c.b.) -> after breakfast, a.c. breakfast...
Then she'll say "p.c.l., a.c.l., p.c.s., a.c.s." you get the idea.....

That's it, thanks! - Help me MT

Thanks a million! That's exactly what it is, since later he dictates Synthroid after breakfast. I couldn't verify the ACB but couldn't figure out what that was supposed to mean.

Synthroid is to be taken on empty stomach - So it is before breakfast

ACB = before breakfast - (AC is ante cibum)

Good lord, don't confuse them with Latin. English confuses them enough already!

If so, what information do you log? I keep a log of Job ID, dictator name, wt, and character count per report. I'm wondering how much my logging time cuts into my productivity. Especially, recording the character count because I have to go into document properties and write that down. I do that because there is no way for the MT to check her line count herself and our team lead to give us our daily line counts. So I like to make sure everything jives, if ...

I work for Transcend and there are intermittent times where I go 48 hours without getting a status update and then WHAM, I get the last 48 hours' worth, and there can be 15-20 status updates over those last 48 hours. One person told me it was my settings, but it's not, because I get them all other times and I get emails from others during the time when I don't get any from Transcend, and it's only from Transcend that this happens. Has it happened to anybody else.& ...

I did not mind at first because at least I still had a job; however, this does have negative consequences on my income since I have to constantly learn new specifics and docs, etc. I am beg ...

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 ...
