Select drugs for a drug profile

Drug names in the title bars of charts end with one of the following suffixes:

• (G) – Generic name
• (T) – Trade name
• (I) – Ingredient

The primary drug is shown in the Drug Profile title area next to the layout name. The comparator drugs are the drugs for which other chart windows appear in the current layout.

1. In the left navigation pane, hover on the Data Analysis icon (), then click Drug Profiles.
2. In the drug profile menu bar, from the Drug menu, click Select.

   There is a Primary Drug field and, if the layout includes chart windows for different drugs, there are Comparator Drug fields.

3. Optionally, click Recent in the Drug menu and select from primary drugs for which you viewed charts recently.

   Note:

   The Drug menu is available only if you are viewing a layout that has been saved at least once.
4. From the Primary Drug or Comparator Drug drop-down lists, select the type of drug (Generic, Trade, or Ingredient) that you want to specify. Any or all of the drug types might be available depending on the drug profile configuration you are using.

   

   Note:

   If you remove the comparator drug, charts for the drug are not displayed although they are still part of the layout, unless you save the layout without them.
5. In the Primary Drug field, type a drug name or click Select to select a drug from a list.

   Note:

   The list of available drugs that you can select on the Drug menu is determined by an algorithm described in Add a drug profile configuration.
6. If you want to select the drugs with which the layout was last saved by you or another user, click Reset.
7. When you are satisfied with the drug selections, click OK.
