Method 2b - Enter the Allergy by a Specific Medication Brand or Trade Name

This option allows you to indicate a specific drug to which the patient has an allergic reaction. If a Trade Name is entered, and in the above screen 'By Trade name' is selected, then allergy checking only looks for that specific brand of the medication. This is useful where patients are allergic to an excipient, colouring or flavouring present in one formulation of a drug, but not in others.
