Create/Edit/View Medication
This is the create/edit/view screen for Medication products, ie items which are sold (like merchandise) but which being medication, also need drug labels, dispensing notes, a drug schedule and list of active ingredients.
The fields are:
|
The ID of the product. |
|
The product name. |
|
An optional description. |
|
The name that will be displayed when the invoice etc is printed. If omitted, then Name will be used. |
|
An optional description to provide additional information to customers about products they are purchasing. Where present, these will be included in printed Invoices, Counter Sales, Credits, and Estimates. |
|
The applicable drug schedule (None, or S1 through S8). |
|
Active ingredients can be listed here. The standard prescription print template will display this text with the label 'Strength'. |
|
The medication concentration. This is:
|
|
The units by which this is sold (eg Unit, Ampoule, Bottle, Box, etc). The available choices are set by the Administration|Lookups|Units of Measure screen. |
|
The units by which this is dispensed - the same choices as Selling Units. |
|
The applicable dispending verb (None, Administer, Apply, Give, Inject). This and the Dispensing Units are commonly used in macros to generate dispensing labels. |
|
Check this box if a dispensing label should be printed for this product. |
|
The preset text for the label. Macros in these instructions will be expanded when the medication is dispensed. |
|
This is used to set the Product Type - see Concepts|Products. If you are using product types, then you really need to set the type for every product. Product types can be arbitrarily created by your administrator. These product types are distinct from product classes (Merchandise, Service, Medication). Instead, these can be used to group products according to discounts and tax types for instance. See Administration|Types|Product Type. |
|
This is only required if you use the HL7 facility where it is used the set a Pharmacy or Pharmacy Group for this product. Note that this can also be set via the Product Type and this may be more convenient if many products use the same pharmacy or pharmacy group. |
|
If ticked, indicates that the product can only be use in charges and estimates via a Product Template. |
|
Used to indicate that a Microchip, Pet Tag, or Rabies tag should be added to the patient when the product is charged. |
