In EHR I use, if select Riperidone (or Risperdal), it shows there are 2 packet of 0.5mg, 2 of 1mg, only 1 of 2mg, 1 of 3mg & only 1 of 4mg. This immediatly tells me there is different indications for 0.5 & 1mg, but only 1 indication for 2,3 & 4mg. Also since GP's want coded information, the PBS codes the 2 packets differently - so they know for which indication it was used. That is why they are listed as they are !

Well - I consider it as brain damaged to expect a GP to click on three different icons to find out one piece of information regarding the same drug - without ANY hints that you might have to do that in order to find that information I prescribe generic. I also found out that the way my EHR program presents Authority information may be different depending on which row of "Risperidone 0.5 mg tablet" I click - again, no warning nor hint from the uI that this might be so. You are right. I am in fact way too busy for such crap. Idisyncratic disinformation indeed it is.
