Doc states, "I am upping his Nexium to 40 mg..."
would you put upping or change it. If change it, what would you change it to?
I would leave it as dictated - otherwise

In most cases, you are safest to type as dicated unless it is widely considered slang, such as hep B, crit or such (and NOT verbatim).

Would like to know what other methods are available to increase production and people's experience with using word expanders such as InstantText or something else. I have gotta do something in order ...
