Generic Prescribing Mandatory

Where it is mandatory that the generic be prescribed, the switch to generic icon displays on the Therapy - Add form. “Must Use Generic” displays in the Drug Information bar on the Drug Select screen.

On adding the items, you are prompted, with “<drug name> is recommended to be prescribed in the generic form. Would you like to switch to the generic?” You can either select Yes to continue to prescribe the generic or no to cancel and return to the Therapy Add form.

Selecting yes changes the item to the generic equivalent. Selecting no returns you to the Therapy - Add form.
