I think sotalol is correct and Lynn I believe I was hearing him wrong and it is 40 and 80 mg not 14 and 18 mg. Thanks a million!
I have an ESL doctor who's dictating dialysis bath solutions. (I've never done these before). He says 2 K, which I found no problem, but when I sent it to QA for some other blanks, it was corrected to 2 potassium.
Account info says to use abbreviations when dictated, even in the diagnosis/impression/assessment portions.

Thanks. ...
