- Right-click the medication and select Change Dose from the menu.
The Enter Dose window appears.
Make any changes that are required and then click OK to confirm.
You will be prompted to confirm the drug quantity and repeats. Modify if necessary and click OK to continue.

This prompt will differ slightly, depending on whether you are prescribing a limited or regular medication. It is possible to disable the prompt for regular medications via Prescribing Options.
