Description

When I query the prescriptions table, there are quite a few "drug" names prepended with NEO*IV* (ex: NEO*IV*Cefotaxime, NEO*IV*Ampicillin Sodium, ...)
Does anyone know what this acronym means?
More specifically, what NEO means? (I am assuming IV means intravenous)

• references to similar issues

What does NF stand for in prescription drug name? #490

I assume this is MIMIC-III? NEO usually stands for neonate.
