This prescription is classed as practice administered or personally administered, and should contain the batch number and manufacturer. The Batch Number window is completed with the batch number and the manufacturer if available and are printed on the prescription.

If not, the batch number can be added (see Allocating or Adding a Batch Number). Batch numbers can be added either when adding the therapy, or by editing the prescription (eg by the dispenser) and the batch number added then. In the latter case, the script should not be printed first.

The Pack Size field can only be used if P Admin / Dispensedis ticked. Then you can click and select a Pack Size (eg y), which would mean you are administering x in Quantity, using a Pack Size of y (see Pack Size and Pack Labels).
