Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks, , but I don't think so. This is a cardiac and pulmonary and hyperlipidemic etc etc etc patient with a pacemaker and he has had various ops, but this time he just came in because of CHF exacerbation and was given Fusid - no surgery was involved. He is on everything from Procor through Simovil to Losec (10 little coloured pills + an inhaler in total). All but Concor, Fusid, Diovan and the inhaler have a number in that column.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks. Yes, I have, and like (thanks!) I think that the most likely answer is Outpatient (with or without Pharmacy), i.e. he has to be issued with that total amount, but I don't know for sure. As I said, I am happy to leave it as-is - I see it often enough in non-English documents; I was simply intrigued, esepcially as (e.g.) he is on 100 mg of aspirin x 1/day for 30 days, totalling 300 - ??? Acc. to my arithmetic it comes to 3000 mg in total, doesn't it?

Thus OP must be a number of [something]. And then you have " wrong " numbers. Hmm... 100 mg-aspirin 1/die for 30 days seems strange as well. Such a patient takes cardio aspirin chronically. May " 30 " refer to no. of tablets in a pack? FWIW, Giovanna 2008/11/25 > Thanks. Yes, I have, and like (thanks!)

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks. 30 is the number of days, no question about that. Maybe it's the amount the patient is issued in one go - he'll have a whole pharmacy at home even with one small pack per product (my father took most of these for 20 years, and he almost needed his own e bathroom cabinet). The numbers are very odd: Diovan 80 mg x 1 for 30 days = 0 OP Losec 20 mg x 1 for 30 days = 600 OP Digoxin 0.125 mg x 1 for 30 days = 3.7 OP Concor & Fusid - blank. Ah well, I've had a whole range of brilliant but conflicting suggestions now on 3 lists + offlist, so I'll just leave it as-is ;-) Cheers, >> Thanks. Yes, I have, and like (thanks!)

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I am now assured on another list that it means 'original pack'. The numbers still seem odd ...
