anti-anginal ba ni? or anti-hypertensive? from what i remember it is a calcium channel blocker. sikat na brand ani is adalat diba? murag anti-hypertensive jud ni cya.

is it:
Furosemide (Lasix) or Lasix (Furosemide)
most of you guys do it using the latter. but from writing prescriptions they always use the former. or there's just a difference with how doctors write their prescriptions?
