acetaminophen w/codeine issue - NorCalMT

Posted: Jan 05, 2010

I was confused, but now I agree--Tylenol #3 is incorrect and the correct IS Tylenol No.3, so I was humbled to know I wasn't doing it right for many, many years; a fellow QA person pointed it out to me. I do radiology and clinic reports now so haven't typed it much and forgot which was which that I was doing wrong.

Someone kept saying below that the BOS says #3, but I cannot find that anywhere.

Regardless, you never change the name of a drug. You type what the Manufacturer names it!
