Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 MiraLax. Xalatan. Trying to document these 2 drugs. These 2 drugs were spelled out for me. They are Xalhean and Miralex. Are these new? Can't find them. Thanks. Kari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Xalatan would be for glaucoma. Could not tell about the MiraLax. I will flag them. I thought that since he spelled them out that they would be right. Ha! Thanks everybody for your help.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 The second one is probably MiraLax. I'm not sure about the first one.. could be Xalatan maybe, but that's just a guess.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 He may have spelled Xalatan out correctly, but it's just not coming through clearly. " h-e " and " a-t " can sound almost identical on tape. Kind of like " hypo " and " hyper " , no matter how hard they try, it can still be hard to differentiate.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Yes, you're probably right. Hopefully, when I get a little more experience under my belt, everything will be more clear.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I have been searching for quite a while now, just out of curiosity, and there seems to be two spellings for the same drug. Xalantan and Xalatan rxlist has it without the " n " , but many other sources on the Internet include it. Who is the final authority?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Thank you very much for the obvious answer, now that you've said to check with the manufacturer. You guys are so smart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anyone more authoritative than the manufacturer, which is Pfizer in this case. They spell it Xalatan. :-) One can usually find the manufacturer of a specific drug fairly quickly for verifications such as this by putting the following into Google: [insert drug name here] manufacturer That'll usually bring up the marketing/manufacturing company within a hit or two. -- Chuck Mattsen ... mattsen@... http://www.mindspring.com/~mattsen/mtsearch.htm Random Thought/Quote For This Message: Art is either plagiarism or revolution.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hey Chuck. The name of the drug is Xalatan. Not only do I type it all the time, but one of my mother's friends takes it. So Xalatan it is! > > CBtranscribes> I have been searching for quite a while now, just out > CBtranscribes> of curiosity, and there seems to be two spellings for > CBtranscribes> the same drug.
