> REQUEST FOR HELP ON FORMATING LABELS.
> We are having difficulty in finding the NPR field that will print the mg

> In the past we have put the strength of the IV in the generic name so that it

> e.g.
> GN: METROnidaZOLE 500 MG/0.08% NS
> Strength: 100 ML
>
> We would like to change this to
> GN: METROnidaZOLE in 0.08% NS
> Strength: 500 MG/100 ML

> name and volume, you have to go into the order to see that it is 500 mg.
>
> A work around to this problem would be to enter the premix as an additive so

> we have built with generic name of TOTAL ESTIMATED BAG VOLUME. This works
> well label-wise and printing on the MAR-wise but it becomes a somewhat
> difficult training issue for order entry.

> What are other people doing? Are they incorporating the mg strength into the
> generic name. This is redundant when you have the mg strength in the
