Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 LOL! Is it me, or is that doctor just plain silly? I mean you can give someone a prophylactic drug just like you can give them and antibiotic drug (adjective forms). Therefore, they are given a prophylaxis or an antibiotic (noun forms). However, you can no more prophylax somebody than you can antibiot somebody, right? ----Original Message Follows---- Reply-To: " Watt " To: " NMTC " <nmtc > Subject: word tense help Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 21:27:36 -0500 Can someone tell me what the verb form of " prophylaxis " is?
