Donna,
If you inactivate a medication in a patient's med list, the reason for inactivating window will appear. You can close it or you can write the reason it was inactivated:
Zantac: Switch to PPI, etc.
The medication will now be in the inactive list. If you choose the medication and select History, it will show the date it was inactivated and to the right of that it will give the reason.
If you activate the med, the history will show the medication and when it was activated, it will remove the date inactivated but will continue to show the reason it was inactivated.
If you go on to prescribe it, then the reason will be deleted from the history.
So, the answer to your question is it will be linked to the inactivated medication for that patient.
