To perform and Easy Search Dose Range query

  1. From the Select Search Type drop-down list on the Easy Search page, select 'Dose Range.'
  2. Search Type = Dose Range

  3. 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.

  5. 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.
