Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Since FemHRT is the brand name and not the chemical name, I personally think it should be capitalized.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 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 Jan jantranscribes@... " Typing is my life.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 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? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rennie My Home Page: http://www.renesue.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: Femhrt In a message dated 2/4/03 8:59:26 AM Mountain Standard Time, mgrant@... writes: > , No, rather than it's being an abbreviation, it is femhrt, per Drake & > Drake, Margaret > I second that, plus I saw a sample bottle at one of my offices and it said femhrt (not capped).
