Substring / Parsing Help

I have several antibiotic drug names in one column. Each drug name varies in length, but all have a space between the drug name, dosage concentration, dosage unit of measure, etc…

I want to parse everything from the first character (from the left) to the first space and store in a separate field.

Given:      Imipenem-Cilastatin 500 mg IV solution

Desired output:        Imipenem-Cilastatin

I got close using the Subfield function, but not quite what I need

Subfield(Antibiotic,’ ‘) as Taxonomy

Any suggestions?
