Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Me again! From an infectious disease consult -- two drug names I can't run down. The first s/l i-rid-ee-uh and the second actually sounds like one word -- clindinelevaquin -- but I suppose she's actually saying something like clin-dine *and* Levaquin. She's definitely not saying Clindamycin, which I thought was the likely suspect in the context. More context follows: The patient is a 66-year-old African-American male with a history of cancer of the lung and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He also has a history of cerebrovascular accident. He was admitted to the hospital with altered mental status, generalized weakness, and cachexia. He was found to be hypokalemic. He was admitted to the intensive care unit, was given [s/l Iridia], and was started on [s/l Clindine] and Levaquin. Any takers? Any help appreciated.
