Hello,

I'm taking up 14tonks' challenge from the "More on drugs" topic of this category suggesting we begin a drugs and dosages shorts list..



Being rather AR, I guess I'll start with "A". I hope to be back this evening with (at least the start of) a list for the letter A!




DRUGS AND DOSAGES--LETTERS VOLUNTEERED FOR

A: cider (10/16/2004)
B: sono_io (10/18/2004)
C: KellyRat (10/19/2004)
D: smilingjaguar (10/24/2004)

Yeah, cider, way to go, girl!!!

Okay, one flat-out, wet-behind-the-ears newbie with enough gumption to delurk, step up to the plate, and take a swing at contributing to the forums. You know what, cider, I don't have to know anything else about you to know that you are going to make a success of the MT business, because being a self-starter who is willing to work, and being able to research and learn on your own are the prime requirements for success in this field.

If it turns out there are just too many A drugs, feel free to post and ask if someone wants to pick up and continue from Al.., or whatever, onwards.

Now, any of you other newbies out there want to get out your copy of Drake and Drake, or buy yourself a copy, and start in on another letter? (By the way, there is a new 2005 edition of that great reference coming out in December, so if you don't have it yet, put it on your Christmas list.)
Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book

AWESOME!

Thank you so much, Cider! Tonks is right, if you start going insane at a certain point during A, heck, you don't have to do the whole thing. And you don't have to rush it, either. But........very, very neat offer, cool!

Okay, my "system" for shorts is not original except I've probably perverted the original, which is based on ABCZ, and Harrie's method (I think) for adding dosages. One change I made was to maintain the ABC idea even if the drug was more than 1 word. To differentiate I use just the first letter of the second word.

anax = Anaprox
anad = Anaprox DS

I use IT, transitioned from Smartype, and being so new, one additional 'cheat' I use is to let IT help me remember what a given drug is commonly prescribed for. I first enter each new drug as a 1 letter 'Word' and for the expansion I include the most common ailment in parentheses. The parentheses jump out at me so that even if I happen to mis-type and enter that word (instead of the 3+ letter short phrase) I'm not likely to miss it in my report. I'm not going to include those in this list since I suspect most people won't find it useful, but as an example:

b = Benicar (hypertension)
benr = Benicar
benr4 = Benicar 40 mg
benr2 = Benicar 20 mg
benr5 = Benicar 5 mg

Also, with IT, I don't worry too much about having duplicate shorts - so there are some, and my doses may seem a little odd, at times they drag on 'coz I know, with IT, I can type as little or as much as I'd like.

Since I'm just starting out, I don't know a common dose or drug from and uncommon one yet, so I just used D&D's Pharmaceutical Word Book (2003) and started with "A". Any doses not found in the Word Book come from Drug Information Center. If I couldn't find it there I left it alone.

Super list, Cider!

Just a quick note: Instant Text does not load duplicates so there is no need to worry about them. The only way you will see duplicates is if you manually open the glo file in a program like Notepad. The Condense feature will weed out duplicates, however, this feature may also change the order of your shorts.

What a beautiful job! Serious gratitude to you, Cider. That's a work. Thank you!

You know, your mention of putting a one-letter entry to go in the Word section and then putting what it's for in parentheses interests me! I have some items I might try that with, not necessarily all drugs. I never thought of that! Cool!

Thanks for the note about the duplicates, Cheryl. I've concentrated on avoiding them..I seem to recall a post about this by Harrie now that think about it..hmm. Anyhow, one less thing to worry about now

Thanks for volunteering, cider! Hopefully some others will join us too...

Okay, I'll play! I'll work on C. Heck, I got my own dancing silly rat, it's the very least I can do! It may take awhile, but I'll work on it a little at a time.

Okay, Kelly has C. I think it will take a long time for everyone to get through their letter, and longer for us to get through the alphabet. Which is fine. Eventually it will all get done, and then it will be a useful thing to have around.

And when the alphabet is finished, it'll be time to sort it for what's new, and what's off the market.

Good work all!

I'll take D. I don't have much spare time, but I know that it will be worth it to have the whole alphabet without doing the entire drug book.

Sounded okay to me--we knew what you meant.

I'm adding you to the volunteer list for D, and thanks!

Thanks from me too, Kimberly! Thanks so much!

And Cider.............. WOW!
