Re: Femhrt

[Guest guest]

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?

In this particular case, whoever signs the paycheck would not apply since it's a

documented brand name, in which case any other spelling is wrong UNLESS by some

chance another company has a different registered trademark name.

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

Excellent idea if that symbol is available. Unfortunately, my employer's

software doesn't have that capability. We don't have bold, italics, superscript

or subscript available, as I've probably mentioned before, let alone any

symbols.

This is another case of something changing after the fact, as in AcipHex.

When it first came out it was AcipHex, but later it was changed to Aciphex.

I have sticky notes from the drug company with AcipHex. Some of my doctors

spell new drugs for me and way back when they spelled it FemHRT and that is

the way it was introduced and samples given out. Now it is femhrt. Hard to

keep track!

As I've mentioned before, my employer considers mtdesk.com to be the ultimate

reference for cases such as this as far as reliability is concerned. When I

looked up femhrt there, and clicked on their link, here's what I found:

" Note: Although trademarked as femhrt, Warner-Lambert's 1998 annual

report/letter to shareholders refers to this product as FemHRT. Mfg: Duramed

Pharmaceuticals, distributed by Pfizer (formerly Parke-, div. of

Warner-Lambert). Source: FDA approvals-10/15/99). "

Obviously this is where the difference in spellings came from This also, to

me anyway, explains why my employer considers this site the " final answer. "

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 had a doctor actually SPELL the drug out for me when it first came out

" Capital F, e, m, capital H, capitalR, capital T. " YIKES! Guess I need to

change that spelling now, huh??? Same with the AcipHex ... and I thought I

was bad at not being able to make up my mind!!!
