for those of us allergic to cephlasporins, it is easier to go realize that is what the drug is, and go "uh doc, can't have that"

They are! But it could be really nice and be like the macrocyclic lactones where they end with the same name.

I’m imagining their naming system is “cefla *keyboard smash*”

It's like biologics in hooman med!
Infliximab, adalimumab, golizumab, vedolimumab, certolizumab, just smash the keyboard a few times and slap a -mab ending on it!

Honestly my biggest day to day complaint is cerenia, convenia and osurnia all sounding similar and being completely different uses.

Although I do appreciate the ability to sing them all to both the Ricola and Activia jingles.

I used to get cerenia and convenia mixed up all the time

So I had to remember that cerenia brings serenity to the GI tract, while convenia is convenient. I got nothing for osurnia.

Also more often sing to the Activia jingle lol

Tramadol and trazadone is annoying lol

Also simplicef and simparica

 

[ajs513]

I mainly just mean because the O sound is the same as the O in otic. So if you’re trying to remember among the three, cerenia is serene, convenia is convenient (as opposed to giving antibiotics PO), and osurnia is otic. BUT you can also mix all of that up because convenia also gives serenity with all of the skin problems, and osurnia is convenient. But once you actually pick up the bottle or tube it’s easy to remember.

My brain desperately wants to mix up omeprazole and sucralfate.

Which, like, if my brain is gonna screw two drugs up... really benign problem to have. But all my assistants know that when I try and write omeprazole dissolved in H2O TID that I need a slap on the wrist.

I mean if your going to mix up some drugs, that’s the two to screw up for sure lol.

I was in a room this weekend where the client kept telling me she gave tramadol to her anxious dog before her apt and even though I knew she meant trazadone, it had me all screwed up on which one I was writing down lol

Uhhhh.... osurnia sounds like convenia? or cerenia? Really?

And that one is kind of hard to confuse since it is an otic gel.....

I am confuzzled how that got lumped in with convenia/cerenia.

It ends in "-nia"? Usually people just say the wrong one accidentally then realize what they did.

Maybe I Just don't use osurnia enough..... because it sucks

Definitely confuse convenia/cerenia at times. At least the volume you'd give a pet is the same for these drugs so if you have an "oops" probably not a big deal. I love the smell of cerenia so I'm always looking for that particular smell when using it.

How! It’s literally known as the bandaid smell!

 

[DVMDream]

What do you mean how?

 

[ajs513]

What do you mean how?

It smells exactly like a bandaid. Specifically a wet bandaid.

 

[twelvetigers]

It does. Very rubbery.

 

[DVMDream]

Yes, yes it does. I'm still missing your point...

 

[ajs513]

Yes, yes it does. I'm still missing your point...

Hey you know what, if you like that then just keep doing you. I’ll stick with smelling my pyrantel and vanilla marshmallow compounded metoclopramide

 

[twelvetigers]

I can’t think of anything at the clinic I really like the smell of... but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I’m the normal one here.

 

[SkiOtter]

Tramadol and trazadone is annoying lol

Methimazole and metronidazole

 

[grebes4lyfe]

Marshmallow scented clindamycin tho

 

[SkiOtter]

Yes, yes it does. I'm still missing your point...

I think it’s a “how tf you like the wet bandaid smell Dvmd you crazy”

 

[Caiter92]

My rabbit is on metoclopramide and i love the smell too lol

 

[Squeaksmom]

Not drugs, but I mix up listeria and botulism. I don't even know... my brain did not come with an instruction manual!

 

[that redhead]

Listening to clients try to pronounce metronidazole is one of my favorites.

Cerenia smells awesome. Some people like the smell of gasoline.....not that's weird.

I never said it was, I was just translating. Some people also like the smell of that rubber cement glue we used in class in elementary school. Including my sister and I

You mean you don't love sniffing baytril?

 

[grebes4lyfe]

You mean you don't love sniffing baytril?

Ughhhh I h8888888 the smell of baytril
Also ceftazidime smells like cat pee

And injectable Baytril is ACTUALLY the worst

But im serious, does anyone else use these 100mg clind tabs? They smell SOO GOOOOOD

 

[WildZoo]

 

[capri1722]

…amoxicillin and amox/clav suspensions smell pretty great.

I had step approx 5 billion times as a kid so was on amoxi a bunch, and liquid amoxi actually tastes delicious to me

 

[PippyPony]

Not really a medication, but does anyone like the smell of bag balm? Very similar to cerenia/band-aid scent, big fan. I think maybe it's the lanolin?

@DVMDream

I also love the smell of iron supplements

(Also one of my favorite cocktails is a blood & sand and one of my favorite beers is called Steel Rail ...I may have a weird affinity for metallic flavored things)

Iron deficiency?

Have been tested many times

But I have always particularly liked foods with heavy amounts of iron, ever since I was a little kid.

Dubz's explanation is probably the right one.

For some reason the smell makes me think of MTG

This. Explains. A. Lot.

 

[PrincessButterCup]

I love the way autoclave tape smells. And healthy horse poop. Though to be fair "love" might be too strong a word.

 

[Stroganoff]

I smelled an actual wet bandage today because of this convo, then I immediately felt embarrassed and *****ic.

Those tabs are used for pretty much any medication that Wedgewood compounds. So the marshmallow clindamycin is exactly the same as the other marshmallow ones from wedgewood since they use the same base and just add whichever drug to it. I was at a shelter fundraiser/fun run today and a couple employees of Wedgewood stopped by my hospital’s table. It was great to get validation from them that I’m not crazy for loving the smell of their compounded drugs. I also told them that I’ve tried the blank samples that they’ve sent us, and they’re pretty good. They told me that that wasn’t uncommon or weird. Unless they were just humoring me.

All these compounded drugs really makes me want to ask my pharmacy to compound my medication.
