Te BOS recommends using numerals even for numbers under 10 in medical reports to make them stand out (except in cases where "one" as a numeral would be confusing or awkward, such as "She has 2 sisters. One lives here; the other one [not "1"] lives in another city"). However, also for clarity, it does recommend spelling out one of the numbers in drug dosages or in situations where two numbers are close together. This is what I prefer also. In that case, your first example is how I'd do it: Detrol LA 10 mg one daily.
