What dose 2+2=?
Answer:
A medical dose of 2 + 2 might not equal 4, depending on route of administration, hepatic metabolism, bioavailability, etc
Four.
5
4 and its does
4 or 22....

Your name explains everything. It's 4 by the way.
4
That would depend on what the variable (+) stands for... assuming (+) = 4, then the equation would be: (2)(4)(4). Using multiplication to solve the equation, the answer would be 32. :)
a dose of 2+2 means
two tablets in the morning and two tablets in the evening
4
I had a prescription for a salve that had the names of two substances written, followed by 2+2 mix, followed by bid rub in well. The pharmacist told me the 2+2 means two ounces of each of the substances mixed together. Doc's sure do use some strange notations...
2 tablets (capsules, pills or whatever) in the morning and 2 at night (2 every 12 hrs)
woof
in what manner and what field. dose it matter!!! duh!
You are giving blondes everywhere a bad name, sweetie! I truly hope that you are doing this on purpose, but if not, then...well, I have no idea what to say!
your mother
BID X's Two days... Good Luck...

Can you please explain what this has to do with medical? I am interested in knowing what your question is related to? I think this is what my friend meant when they told me that they left here because of the ???

Dose or does?Dose clearly refers to medication.Which, apparently, you have had too much of.
What does, "epileptiform focus" mean when referring to someone's EEG results?
We got my son's EEG results back, and the doctor tells me this, "..normal background, slow brain wave activity and spikes, isolated chart waves on right side... eplileptiform forcus activity on right side of brain.
blood tests fine and normal. " Can anyone help me decipher this?? The Doc also said that we have to do an MRI to determine if there's a cause for his seizures, that he does appear to have epilepsy. His seizures are rapid eye movements and staring blankly for a few seconds, and he doesn't remember anything during that time. PLEASE HELP ME!! THANK YOU!!
Answer:
You probably saw the EEG being done, but just in case you didn't I'll tell you roughly what it is. You place a bunch of electrodes all over the patient's head. These things record electrical signals from the brain. When you see signals that start jumping out of control in multiple electrodes, you can look at where those electrodes are placed on the patient's head, which ones have positive signals, which ones have negative signals, and triangulate where the out-of-control signals are coming from.Epileptiform focus is where the seizure starts. Often seizures are the result of a physical abnormality somewhere in the brain. This can be the result of some kind of insult to the brain (e.g., stroke, aneurysm) or the kid could possibly have been born like that. Whatever caused it, you end up with an electrical circuit in the brain that is prone to start firing out of control (positive feedback mechanism, maybe). This is the seizure focus. From there, the out-of-control electrical activity spreads to other parts of the brain and you get the full-blown seizure.Now that the doctor has localized the seizure focus (I don't know how precise they can get it), he wants to use an MRI to see if he can find a physical abnormality there that is causing the seizures. He may or may not be able to find anything.

What does within 72 hours mean? I have a partial prescription for vicodin and they gave me a partial. Can?
I pick it up the next day? Or does it have to be 72 hours?
Answer:
When you are dealing with controlled substances, like the hydrocodone in Vicodin, the pharmacy is limited on the time that they can make changes in the prescription's record. This is due to inventory related regulations by the DEA. If you don't pick it up within 72 hours, they may not be able to give you the rest of the prescription. Double check with your pharmacy, but if you don't pick it up in that time frame you might not get the remainder at all.
"Within 72 hours" means any time between right now and 72 hours (3 days) from now.So, if you're told "within 72 hours" and it's noon on March 27, you have until 11:59 on March 30.Now, I have no idea if they'll have it READY within 72 hours or if that's the expiration of the period in which you need to pick it up. If it's the first one, they might have it ready in an hour... or it might take 3 days. If it's the second one, it means that you can go right now (or tomorrow) as long as it's picked up by the end of the 72 hours period.
You should be able to pick it up the next day. Call the pharmacy first. The 72 hours means they have that long to fill the script.
That means the prescription will be available to you no later than 72 hours from when the partial was issued.
It probably means that they ran out of the vicodin and only gave you a partial prescription. The rest will be ready within 72 hours - if not sooner - but it will not run out after that time!Prescriptions are good for 6 months after a physician writes them, the pharmacy can not dictate when one will run out or not!

What does wf mean?
in a medical chart under medications what WF means? for example: furosemide 20 mg tablet wf: lasix 20 mg tablet 1 tab PO daily?
freshman medical student
Answer:
The accepted use and most common use of "wf" is "white female". "With food" is normally abbreviated as a lowercase "c" with a straight line drawn over it for "with" and food is normally written out. "ac" is used for "before meals" or "ante cibos" in Latin. "pc" is used for "after meals" or "post cibos" in Latin. Lasix (furosemide) does not need to be taken with food, so it doesn't make sense. One other guess is that the "wf" appears after the generic name furosemide and may be an abbreviation used by the pharmacy to identify the generic drug manufacturer, which is common after the generic name of a product, but normally would not appear in a written chart, since the physician would have no clue as to who makes the generics dispensed by the pharmacy. All these guesses would apply to the U.S. Other countries have abbreviations unique to their area, even if the chart is in "English."Rick the PharmacistRick the Pharmacist
with food I think....like you should take the medication when you eat
with food ??
WF is probably With Food.
PO is By Mouth (Per Oral)
With food is generally what it means. These types of medications can not be absorbed properly if you do not take it with food or it can cause stomach irritations. You can also try taking it with a glass of milk if you are unable to eat with it.
Come on!!! Are you serious???Good luck in med school...........;)

What does this mean, positive, alprazolam, 54 micrograms/liter (+/- 27%); positive, hydrocodone, 110 microgram
What does this mean, positive, alprazolam, 54 micrograms/liter (+/- 27%); positive, hydrocodone, 110 micrograms/liter (+/- 16%); and positive, meprobamate, my mg/L (+/- 23%). Are these high levels, actually what is a normal level in the blood for these three drugs?
Answer:
It means somebody failed a drug test.
Answer:
It means somebody failed a drug test.
What does this mean in relation to Acute Renal Failure?
CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = H+ + CO3
Thank you for your help
Answer:
That refers to the ionic dissociation that occurs in the renal tubules, aiding the body in regulating acid/base balance.With regard to acute renal failure, there is a rapid drop in glomerular filtration, which does not allow blood to be filtered, and thus does not allow the ionic dissociation to occur. The effect of this is metabolic acidosis that goes unregulated by the renal system.

it's how the body compensates for acute changes in pH, by generating either more acid (H+) or more base (HCO3-) depending on the acid-base status.
