scslmd,

Wow! I don't know how I missed your post. I think I understand your suggestion about not being able to include two medications with different dosages in the medication list. This is probably my number one pet peeve with the medicatin writer. I generally get so frustrated after four or five tries, that I ask the patient to try <G> This must be because the program only looks at the drug name and not the entire medication, i.e. with the strength. I have used two workarounds:

One is to add a hyphen after the second one. This sometimes works but we perfectionists our here don't tend to like that, lol.

The second which usually works after the second try, is to write the first medication such as Focalin XR 10 mg, then close the writer and go back in and write the Focalin XR 20 mg after.
