Selecting drugs for a drug profile

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

The primary drug is shown in the blue bar of the Drug Profile page. The comparator drugs are the drugs for which other chart windows appear in the current layout.

1.         Click the Drug tab.

The Drug Profile page appears.

2.         From the Drug menu, click Select.

The Select Drugs dialog box appears.

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.

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 drug name 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 Adding or editing 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.
