Set up Route of Administration

Define the ways a medicine can be given, such as oral, injection or topical, so each drug generic and drug can offer the right routes.

Who does this: hospital administrator or pharmacy in-charge Where: General Masters › Drug Masters › Route of Administration Set up before: none

A route of administration is the way a medicine enters the body, for example Intravenous, Injection or Topical. You tick the routes on each drug generic, and each drug then offers only those routes.

The list already holds the common routes. Check it before you add a new one.
