rainy and DrWAW right on the money, and Vinny thanks for the input.
My patients will tell you that this is the ONLY thing that makes me want to throw the computer our the window. DoctorWAW you are right it happens mostly with stimulants and amphetamines. Rainy I used your workarouind too, lol
The reason it happens is because AC looks at "the desired medication" and not "the desired formulation" as well. So, for instance, if your write for Focalin XR 20 mg, AC "sees" Focalin XR only. So, while Focalin XR 20 mg.
But, Vinny seems to be half right and half wrong which is very good for me.
I just wrote for Concerta 18 mg and clicked on upate/prescribe. The medication then populated the left and right columns. Rather than just clicking on Concerta again, I clicked on add new med first, then I added a 36 mg, did it again with a 27 mg. All three showed in both windows. I was able to print all three strengths of Concerta, not that we can print controlled substances to paper. This is the first time in over three years I have learned this.
