- Pharmacy Update - Levodopa-Carbidopa Custom Dosing Units
Currently, part tablet orders of levodopa-carbidopa are supplied as all part tablets when available. However, this can cause confusion when dispensing and administering part table orders. To increase patient safety, as of March 18, 2025, three new custom dosing units will be created to allow the system to use Intelligent Medication Selection (IMS) to select the most appropriate product(s) for the order. The three new custom dosing units are:
- “tablet of 100 mg – 10 mg”
- “tablet of 100 mg – 25 mg”
- “tablet of 250 mg – 25 mg”
With this change, Pharmacy will no longer supply part tablet orders as all part tablets, for both inpatient and outpatient orders. Click the camera icon below to see a before-and-after screenshot of the order composer.
