    ERNurse752 replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    ERNurse752 replied to NurseHopeful's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ERNurse752 replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lomotil is just a combo of atropine sulfate and an antiperistaltic. Immodium shouldn't show up. Other drugs can cause drowsiness that won't show up on a UDS either, like Benadryl and Flexeril. The...

    ERNurse752 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing
