Has anyone heard of this? I have looked up lateris, loteris, leteris, and can find nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

This is an oncology note.
The dose is 10 mg daily.

Sorry, eaeime, with that little info I haven't found anything likely either.

Does the patient perhaps have pulmonary hypertension? (Metastatic breast cancer or other cancer can sometimes cause that.) There is a fairly new drug for that that would match your s/l and the dose. You can find it by putting ris in the search box at the FDA: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm

Nice catch, tonks. that's not in MPR, though it is in 08 D&D.

The patient has metastatic lung cancer, so that's probably it. Thank you so much! \:\)
