So, here is a workaround. It works great unless you are particular about the formatting of your chart. The formatting isn't that great anyway, so what the hell. But, here is what I do.
I use a lot of Lamictal and some Depakote. As you are probably aware, you can use these together, but you need to be aware about the dosing. So, I just screw around with the script to allow it to flag itself.
So, I prescribe Lamictal 200 mg oral tablet (already have started low and gone slow) the regular way, so it can be eRxd and saved to the med list.
Then, you can write a script for {LAMICTAL}, and it will show up in the med list with the brackets, all caps and italicized. The sig will be all white. You can use other characters there like @@@@@@@@@@@@@@, which stand out, but then they show up in the note or letters. The brackets insure that the medication is always at the top. The brackets also insure that the script, if clicked on, will always appear red in the writer, so it isn't sent to the pharmacy by error.
Finally, you can use the pharmacist note to state why it is flagged. Like patient on Lamictal. Caution with Depakote.
I actually use < > instead of { } as it looks better.
