>Hello Luis

>In the UK the primary care
prescriber (GP) must be very specific
>about the quantity of a medication to
be dispensed to a patient by the
>pharmacist. The quantity units may be:
>
>tablet
>capsule
>mL
>vial
>bottle
>syringe
>
>pack
>tube
>patch
>
>etc. etc.
>
>***Note mL is more complex to calculate as the
>medication strength might be
125mg/5mL and the prescribed dose for a child
>might be 75mg (3mL).

>It is
important that GNU Health can clearly define
>quantity AND units to be
dispensed for community and outpatient prescriptions.

>
>If the medication
product strength and UOM (Unit Of Measure) is properly
>configured (by the Gnu
Health Administrator) then I am sure the quantity and
>unit can be clearly
displayed on screen and on prescription print copies.
