Enteric coated (e/c)

Sugar Coated (s/c)

Capsule

Modified release (m/r)

You have the abbreviations for several meds. Do you need to define the abbreviation? If so...nobody here is going too give that to you. This is easy to find...go look it up.

Have you checked in your text book?

Since the exercise is for you to find them, I don't want to just give you the answers; we don't do that here. We're happy to point you in the right direction, though.

Welcome to AN!

We are always glad to help....but we need to know what you think first! The PDR (physician drug reference) and Google is your friend.

Enteric coated isn't e/c

Sugar coated isn't s/c

modified release isn't m/r
