All of the sub-items (strength, dose, freq, route, etc.) within the medications can be edited.  

To edit a sub-item:

  1. Click on top of the sub-item (ex: click on 500 mg capsule).
  2. Select the desired item from the SMARText Quick Access (ex: select 250mg (capsule).

Repeat this step to edit any additional sub-items as desired.

*Note: SOAPware now automatically matches the drug form for most medications based on the selected strength of a medication so you don’t have to fill it out yourself.
