Easy Search: Dose Range
An Easy Search Dose Range query allows you to find the acceptable dose
range for a drug quickly and easily.
Query
To perform and Easy Search Dose Range query
- From the Select Search Type drop-down list on the Easy Search page,
select 'Dose Range.'
- Enter a partial string or whole drug name into the 'Drug' field.
Note that you can enter multiple partial strings, and the system returns
drugs that match on both strings -- the order of the strings and case
are ignored.
- Click the Search button. The system returns all drugs that contain
the partial string/whole drug name entered.
- Select the appropriate drug from the Search Results list. Note
that if the drug does not have a defined dose route and/or a defined
dose unit, the query cannot be performed.

- In the Selected Drug section, select the Dose Type and Dose Route.
The available selections will be limited to those appropriate for
the selected drug; in some cases, the default values may be the only
options available.

- The Demographic Information section will automatically be populated
with standard values. If more appropriate patient information is available,
the default values can be replaced. Factors included are:
- Age (years)
- Weight (kg or lbs)
- Height (cm or in)

In the Dosing Information section, enter information about the proposed
dose. Factors include:
- Single Dose
- Dose Unit
- Dose Rate Unit
- Frequency

Note: When PECS can’t retrieve the selected dose type, dose unit and
dose route for a drug, it displays this message in a popup:
