Drug Quantity, Duration, and Repeats

The quantity, estimated duration, and number of repeats of a prescribed medication is calculated automatically, based on;

  • The quantity provided in the mediation you prescribe (e.g. 28 tablets or 200ml), and
  • The dose and frequency you specify during the prescribing process.

    Quantity, estimated duration, and number of repeats can be edited either:

    • During the prescribing process after you have entered the dose information, or
    • Via the Current Rx tab, by positioning the mouse pointer over the quantity or repeats column for a specific medication and double-clicking the value you wish to change, or
    • Via the Current Rx tab, by right-clicking the medication and selecting Change Quantity from the pop-up menu.
