[NurseKatie08, MSN]

Excluding pain meds, I'd have to say: Colace, Senna, Zocor, Metoprolol and Calcium+D. Oxycodone is probably our most common narc. Sub-acute rehab.

Replying to five years ago me...things have changed with a specialty change! I'd say now my top five (excluding pain meds & Zofran) would be Lactulose, Xifaxin, Prograf, CellCept & SC Heparin. Hepatobiliary/Renal Transplant (pre & post transplant patients, hence loads of Lactulose!)

This is on the fast track or express care side of the ED.

On the main side:

The pain and nausea meds, plus maybe Valium, cardizem, aspirin, nitro, antibiotics
