Drug defaults including Dosage, Quantity

You can assign a practice defined default dosage, quantity/pack, pack size, free text notes, and age range to a drug dictionary or formulary item.

Once set, whenever the item is prescribed, the pratice defaults automatically apply.

The Gemscript drug dictionary also contains its own defaults. Switch these on in General Setup, Options, Consultation see Default Settings for Therapy. You can override them if you wish at the time of entering the drug item. If an item has both Gemscript defaults and practice-defined defaults, the practice defaults take priority when the item is added to a patient record. However, note that if you copy an item with your own defaults, the copied version will revert to Gemscript defaults, rather than yours.
