It is mandatory for some licensed pharmacies to set a days supply value for an order of a controlled substance (for example, a medication). The days supply value is the number of days that a dispensed medication will last as specified in its dosing instructions.
You can set a Days Supply value when you make a medication prescription:Figure 1. The Days Supply setting
Note: You can only use an integer for the Days Supply value.
ezyVet includes the value of the Days Supply setting in controlled substances reports. And ezyVet shows the value in medication records of a clinical record:
A patient must take three medication tablets each day. The practice dispenses 30 tablets. Thus, The Days Supply is 10 days.
A patient must first take one tablet each day for five continuous days. Then the patient must take one tablet at intervals of two days for five days. The practice dispenses 8 tablets. Thus, Days Supply is 11 days.
