ReplyDeleteIt is your responsibility to research any names and terms mentioned in your file to ensure you format them
properly. Format company names as in the main text of their website (not the stylized logo), or refer to the
copyright at the bottom of their web page. See Conventional Formatting for more examples.

For brand-name medications stylized in all caps, we capitalize the first letter only. Generic drug names are
lowercase. We recommend referencing drugs.com to distinguish brand names from generic.
