Select Generic
Once you have selected the drug and returned to the Therapy - Add screen, you can switch from a brand to a generic form by clicking on the symbol above the drug name, or pressing Control G:
- You can also switch to a generic on the Drug Select screen: type in a brand name and press Enter, then highlight the line. Select its generic form by double clicking (or single click then OK) on the generic name displayed in the bottom section of the Select Drug screen under the Drug Status line
- Or select a branded generic by double clicking (or single click then OK) on one of these listed under Branded Generics in the bottom section of Select Drug.
- If the item you have chosen has a drug status of Must Use Generic (this means that prescribing in the generic form is mandatory for this item), and you do not change, when you finally Accept OK on Therapy - Add, a message will recommend that you switch to the generic form; answering Yes will make the switch.
- Generic Recommended displays in the Drug Information bar on the Drug Select screen for items where prescribing the generic is available but not mandatory.
