Sometimes a drug you need to prescribe is not in the drug database for various reasons. It is possible to add a drug manually. Before you do, make sure you search with the wild card box ticked to make sure you definitely can’t find the drug in the data base. Sometimes you will find what you are looking for by ticking the wildcard search box.
