Relax

Seen in a chart:

Sounds like a great starting point for the nervous Yorkie owner. If only vets could write for owners. Sometimes they need meds more than the pet does 😂

A biblical chart? The patient was Goliath?

To be taking PRN (as needed)? I'm thinking he's only going to need it once.

And you are doing the neuro consult for 'altered mental status", I presume.

These are stressful times we live in.

Typical dosages for a 200 lb man?

That's nowhere near enough.

Do they sell that size at Costco?

I think I'm glad to not know what those are.

Good thing it's just PRN. For the unitiated, diazepam 10 mg three times per day would be considered a "high dose"

Me said...

Does the pharmacy provide a wheel barrow gratis with which to take this order home?

Is the diazepam to effectively treat the HTN, because once a day hydralazine is not going to :-)

I hope you fixed it.Jeebus. I would be the one in the middle of the nurses station asking OK, who let this slide???

Relax? How about just keep breathing? I *might* be able to manage that much, maybe.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this was an EMR-generated med list from a drop-down menu in which the dose of the previous med remains until edited or, alternatively, a VR-generated list in which the doc misspoke the dosage and nobody proofed the report. At any rate, WTH, man?

Wow. I take half a 5mg tablet of diazepam to get into an MRI. 30mg spread out over 24 hours would probably leave me very calm the entire time. 60 would be non-functional. I agree that 300 would probably leave me without any voluntary or involuntary muscle function.

But 300 of gaba seems low; I take 900 spread out over the day for migraine prevention, and my daughter takes 1200 (we've tried all the first line stuff and it either didn't work at all or had side effects worse than the migraines).

Well, if you're experiencing DTs from acute ETOH withdrawal, and you just took a major dose of PCP you got from your brother-in-law drug dealer because the flying monkey warriors hovering all around are scaring you, then 300 mg just might be the proper dose.

But prn?
