-- For drug therapies or regiments, just mark the drug name. Do not include the terms ‘therapy’ or ‘treatment’
Eg- Mark: Penicillin regimen, NOT Penicillin regimen
--For other treatments, include the terms ‘therapy’ or ‘treatment’ only if they are part of the treatment name
Eg- Mark: graduated exposure therapy, NOT graduated exposure therapy
Mark each instance of a drug, drug class, or non-drug therapy separately or in a separate span.
Eg- Mark: compound PS-341 or Velcade NOT compound PS-341 or Velcade
