Maintain ingredients, formulations, and formulary items

Available to

Pharmacy Manager.

Explain the hierarchy in simple terms:

Ingredient: the active medicine substance, for example paracetamol.
Formulation: the approved combination, strength, and dosage form.
Formulary item: the approved link between a saleable product and its formulation, including prescription, controlled-medicine, substitution, and effective-date rules.

Maintain ingredients, routes, and frequencies from the pharmacy configuration area.
Create a formulation in draft and add its ingredient lines and strengths.
Approve the formulation when it has passed pharmacy governance; retire it rather than silently changing an approved version.
Create the formulary item for the product, set the effective period and the local dispensing rules, then approve it.
Use New Revision when an approved formulary item needs a controlled change.
