Retail, or over-the-counter (OTC) products, can be marked as dispensable in Minfos. This is particularly helpful for locally added compounded products.
The benefits of marking these products as dispensable are:
- If the Drug Search is NOT set as Verbose (Verbose is the recommended drug search setting), it allows non-drug items to be dispensed. Refer to Check your Drug Search setting for further information
- It allows these products to have Fixed Drug Pricing set up
- It allows for Default Sigs to be attached
