Re: Femhrt

[Guest guest]

My spell check couldn't care less which way it is typed.

At first, I thought it was FemHRT and the HRT stood for hormone replacement

therapy.

I looked at rxlist and " CDER New and Generic Drug Approvals: 1998-2003 "

and they both have femhrt (no cap). Rxlist even has the registered symbol

after femhrt.

But isn't " femhrt " a brand name, and therefore would be capitalized? Why is

it listed as beginning with a small letter? Any thoughts. TIA, T.

PS thanks to ALL who looked for me.

I second that, plus I saw a sample bottle at one of my offices and it said

femhrt (not capped).

Quick Look Electronic Drug Reference also shows it with a capital F. Femhrt.

It appears with TM after it. This is not to say they are correct, just that

this is the way it appears.

I assume that is Feminine Hormone Replacement Therapy? Should that be

spelled out as such?

I usually go with what the MPR has, and they have it as FemHRT.

Femhrt

Doctor dictates:

She is post TAH and BSO, and is on femhrt.

Would it be Femhrt or femhrt or FemHRT?

Any help would be appreciated! TIA, T.

Since FemHRT is the brand name and not the chemical name, I personally think

it should be capitalized. MPR does still show it as FemHRT but my Neil

abbreviation book cross-referenced drug list shows it as Femhrt with a

capital.

Yep, I have to agree! Here's a link from their site:

http://www.femhrt.com/

On the site it shows femhrt with the trademark symbol. ) Of course,

there's always the " Whoever signs the paycheck... "

Re: Femhrt

A brand name must be spelled exactly as written. In other words, the

registered trade name in this case is femhrt, not Femhrt, FemHrt, or any

combination thereof. I realize the logic of wanting to cap the first letter

since that's how most brand names are, but this is the exception Hope

that unconfuses you

I know we don't typically use the ® symbol, but I have been using it for brand

drugs that begin with a lower case letter. Like:

femhrt®

Do you guys think that's a reasonable thing to do? I'm just trying to make it

clear to the reader that it is a brand name, you know?
