Good morning! Can anyone tell me if there is a way to set up a medication "cocktail" in your custom meds list. For instance, we have a physician that prescribes what they call a "GI cocktail" which contains several different medications after a certain procedure. The cocktail contains Prevacid, Tylenol, Donnatal, Maalox and 2% viscous Lidocaine. Rather than having to pick each med separately, can you set up a sort of medication "set" that you'd click on and it would include all of these medications? Thanks for your help.

Why dont you just add a Mel_Add_Med button and put all those meds in that one button. We use that for a standard combination for patients with contrast allergies. Below is an example of what you would put in your run process button:

MEL_ADD_MEDICATION(

"MEDROL 32 MG TABS", "Take 1 po at 10:00 pm the night before the exam and again 2 hours before the exam.", str(._TODAYSDATE), 13082, ADDDATES(str(._TODAYSDATE), "0", "0", "2"), "2", "0")

MEL_ADD_MEDICATION(

"CIMETIDINE 300 MG TABS", "1 po 30 mins prior to exam", str(._TODAYSDATE), 26271, ADDDATES(str(._TODAYSDATE), "0", "0", "2"), "1", "0")

MEL_ADD_MEDICATION(

"BENADRYL 25 MG TABS", "2 po 30 mins prior to exam", str(._TODAYSDATE), 2681, ADDDATES(str(._TODAYSDATE), "0", "0", "2"), "2", "0")

Just change to your specific meds and prescribing details.

Thanks for your reply! That's a great idea, I will definitely try that. I think our staff will really appreciate not having to do each one separately. Thank you so much for you help.
