Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 Mrs. X comes in today for follow-up on her blood pressure. She has been using s/l " s-frenolactone " and Diovan-HCTZ without any side effects. I can't really get the whole word. Any ideas what this is? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Bev, This is one of the first drugs I put into a macro, because I can never remember how to spell it. It is Zaroxolyn, an antihypertensive/diuretic. I always have to look it up. Margaret >>> 02/19/01 11:29PM >>> Doc dictates: ??Xeroxin 2.5 mg p.r.n. severe symptoms heart failure. I can find Zeroxin and Xeroxin, but they are topical ointments. Any one have any idea what drug he is prescribing...if memory serves...he spelled it this way. Thanks.
