Top 10 Meds Used In The ER

Published

Is there a list somewhere that has the Top 10 meds used in the ER?

I wanted to have a list so that I would know names, side effects, uses, etc.

Thank you! :mad:

Epi, yes of course. Epi one of the 'top' 10 meds used in the ER? No.

I don't work the ER, but I'd guess Lasix would be in the top 10.
