Expressions this week:
-when asking about a triathlon group, I was referred to some people who might be keen to train with me
-asked someone for an appointment, and they said they would check their diary

Meds I had to look up this week:
Losec - omeprazole
Imigran - sumatriptan
Ovestin pessary for HRT
Savlon - topical antiseptic cream (one active ingredient is chlorhexidine)
Anusol wasn't subsidized, so found Ultraproct and Proctosedyl
forgot that Quetiapine is Seroquel
domperidone used for nausea, vomiting and gastroparesis
bendrofluazide - diuretic
Quinapril - ACEI
Mebendazole for threadworm AKA Vermox for pinworm
