A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

tylonal? asprin?
Looks like the German word for Topirimate, Tylenol and aspirin.
It looks like the left out the spaces. I see the tylonal (tylenol?) and asprin, but what are the other letters for?
topiramate tylonal asprin
Must be from a transcription company that does not pay its transcriptionists for spaces (just kidding, we put them in for free)
Yeah, I've seen a prescription written for that.
Isn't Tylenol spelled with an E and isn't aspirin spelled with two i
topiramate is an affectionate greeting in Australia
What more do you need to know ?
At least this program knew how to spell them? Half the doctors I go to can't pronounce, much less spell, "topiramate," "zonisamide," "ketorolac," never mind figure out what they are for. I don't expect a GP to know every single drug but when you've been seeing a patient for more than a year, multiple times, for the same issue, and you ask her about her meds each time...(and yes, the same nurse goes over it each time...and then the doctor repeats it...) it doesn't give me much faith.
O Grumpy, you have to start prescribing it. It is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Goes down with a spoon full of sugar, I'm sure...
eventually they will run out of cute names
and start recycling old names in combination...
Obviously related to paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin.
If they do not provide you with a nice meal, you do not know them.
Ledasmom is right.

I think that's manufactured by the Supercalifragaliciuosexpialadocious Pharmaceutical Company.
"Hey, man, got any topies?"
"Ask your doctor if topiramatetylonalaspirin is right for you. If you can."
Go ahead say (or, write) it however you want. I'm ambidextrous that way. You want brand or generic and I'm bilingual, too. However, I will have one hissy fit if you cannot put some numbers in there.I can't guess if you're using the topiramate for migraines prophylaxis, seizures, anti-psychotic weight loss, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or another off-label and investigational uses in treating essential tremor, bulimia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
What with the combination of topiramate and two painkillers, I'm going to assume that's a migraine cocktail similar to what I take. And if it's not, it ought to be, to treat the headache brought on by reading it!
