Step by step
- Open Inventory > Generics.
- Press Add Generic, type the Generic Name, add the Drug Class / Used For if you like (for example Analgesic, fever) and press Save.
- Use the Products filter to show all generics, only those Set on products, or those Not used. Type in the search box to find a name.
- The Products column shows how many medicines have the generic. Click the generic name to open Medicines (Pharmacy) with only those medicines.
- Use the edit icon to correct a generic and the delete icon to remove it.
- Excel and Print export the list.
Good to know
- Two generics cannot have the same name.
- A generic that is set on products cannot be deleted. Change those products first.
- A generic is also added by itself when a new name is typed on the product form, in Medicine Details or in the medicine import.
- A corrected name shows at once on every medicine linked to the generic.
