Add drugs to medication list

Management and Administration

Hello everyone,

I am using OpenEMR for a specific project and I want to add more drugs, such as cortisone. I try from administration–>layout but I can’t find the drugs category.

Thank you in advance,
Mema.

  1. In Administration->Globals, click on the Features tab. For Drugs and Products,select the appropriate option from the dropdown and click save. So inventory option appears in the left navigation.
  2. Inventory->Management allows to add drugs in OpenEMR.

Hope the below link gives you detailed steps to add drugs in OpenEMR.

Let us know if you have further clarifications.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response.

I would like to ask you also a couple of things.

  1. Do I have the possibility to add the drug to the list of medications,
  2. Could I add other fields, for example in history I want to add some muscular dystrophies such as Duchenne with a drop down menu.

Thank you in advance,
Mema.

Hello Team,
I have added a new drug in the medication issue list namely ‘paracetemol’ but once while adding prescriptions I am not able to find this newly added drug in the ‘click here to search’. It simply says no record found.

In the administration->global->features->drugs and products which is the preferred category to be selected if I want to do so…

Also once if I select an existing drug like ‘Metformin’ I am receiving a dropdown such as the following

from where is this dropdown generated? Is there a list for it too??
Please guide…
