Yeah, they have been working on it since 2017. It is really a joke. I mean "Take one pill by mouth each day," is different from "Take one pill po daily?" It's like making the patients use the same words doctors use in their HPIs to keep errors from being made. Of course, I say this, but I may be forced to, but no way am I going to change, "1 tablet po bid for 10 days," to 1 tablet by mouth twice a day for 10 days." And pharmacies here have been getting all over us for not putting in the number of days, now it says we can't. Well that is a win for me.
Wrote moxifloxacin ophthalmic suspension today and the dispense used to be 1 bottle and let the pharmacist figure it out. Now I had to write Dispense 3 mLs. Of course, we all know it is 0.5%.
What is an eaches?
