Word Document with images -> New "dot" phrase for Miralax instructions

 

There is now a new dot phrase for entering Miralax instructions in Medmanager. Type ",miralax" in the comment field and the following comment will populate:

"Mixed in 2 L sports drink.  Give 240 mL PO every hour until bowel prep complete".
 
There is also a new comment added to the product to help remind pharmacists that instructions need to be included. 
 
Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, we couldn't default the instructions on the product but hopefully this will help with entering these orders through Medmanager.
