Hierarchy/Drug Class

If you want to search for the drug item by drug class or category, click on Hierarchy on the Select Drug screen.

This will display the main drug class headings if you had no item entered in Name.

If you double click on a drug line against a pill icon, you will select it and re-display the Therapy - Add screen.
