This topic is intended for Independent pharmacies only and is not applicable to Rexall pharmacies.

Adding a Companion Product

Custom Companion Products can be added for a drug.

To add a custom Companion Product:

  1. In the Drug Folder Companion tab, select Add. A new row is added. The Custom flag is selected automatically.

  2. Enter the description for the Companion Product. The message entered here appears in the Interaction Detail window, Rx Detail Alerts, and half label prescription hard copy.

  3. Select Save.

Editing a Companion Product

The name of a custom Companion Product can be modified. This is useful if your pharmacy does not stock the recommended brand and you want to change the recommendation to a different brand or remove mention of the brand.

The Companion Product for a drug is COMPLETE (29) MULTIVITAMIN TABLETS, but the store wants to recommend any multivitamin instead of a specific brand. Therefore, they changed the name of the drug's Companion Product to MULTIVITAMIN TABLETS.

To edit a custom Companion Product:

  1. In the Drug Folder Companion tab, highlight the Companion Product.

  2. Enter the new description.

  3. Select Save.

Removing a Companion Product

Companion Products can be removed, provided they are custom.

To remove a custom Companion Product:

  1. In the Drug Folder Companion tab, highlight the Companion Product.

  2. Select Remove.

  3. Select Save.
