It really depends on why you need a second mnemonic for the drug. If you want an "alias" mnemonic that might be easier to remember, Charlie's solution works. If you need a separate ½ tab mnemonic like I've seen some folks ask about, you have to add the drug again to the drug dictionary with a separate mnemonic. When you add the new drug, it asks if you want to copy an existing drug. You can use this to "initiailze" the second entry, then change the new one to make it match what you need. Note that the NDC number for the second drug will have an "A" or whatever appended (concatenated) to it. This is OK, the FSV update will ignore the extra digit and process the new mnemonic appropriately.

If you need to come up with mneumonics, I can send you mine. Charlie Charles R. Downs Pharm.D. Washington County Hospital 251 E.
