Unexplained Dosage Code

A warning is given if the pre-defined dosage for the drug you have selected contains an unexpanded dosage code. This is to prevent dosage misunderstandings, for example, where the abbreviated form such as ON, is interpreted as "on" instead of "every night". You can either select Yes, to expand the dosage and continue. Or select No, to continue without expanding the dosage. Or to review the dosage manually, press Cancel.

The warning continues: "NB Drug defaults should only contain expanded dosages, so we recommend that you amend the defaults for this drug. Sometimes a dosage contains a word that is also a code, eg "ON", hence the "no" option above.
