Drug name conventions
- Use INN (generic) names in Hebrew transliteration as the primary form (e.g., "אפיקסבן"), with parenthetical brand where useful (e.g., "(אליקוויס)"). Israeli MoH uses generic-first.
- For drugs Israeli doctors know by brand, include both: "וורפרין (קומדין)", "מטופורמין (גלוקופאז׳)", "אנוקספרין (קלקסן)".
Style rules
- RTL punctuation. Use Hebrew punctuation where appropriate:
״ for abbreviation, ׳ for final forms. Straight " is acceptable when mixed with Latin text.
- Numbers in Latin script for doses (25mg, not כ״ה מ״ג).
- Units consistent. mg / mL / dL / mmol/L / mEq/L — never mixed ambiguously.
- No machine-translated phrasing. If a sentence reads as Google-Translated ("זה חשוב ל...") fix it to natural clinical Hebrew ("חשוב...").
- Mixed Latin-in-Hebrew. A bare English clinical term dropped into a Hebrew sentence ("זה מקרה של sepsis") should be italicized, parenthesized, or transliterated — not left raw.
- Gender. Clinical prose in neutral/masculine default in Hebrew medical writing; keep consistent within a single item.
When in doubt
Ask the user. Do not guess terminology. Flag the term with [TERM?] in the output and move on.
Red flags — always fix
- Machine-translated phrasing that reads unnatural to a clinician.
- Inconsistent terminology for the same concept within one note/question.
- Inconsistent gender agreement within a single item.
- A drug given only by brand where the generic is the MoH-preferred form (add the generic).
