Document Patient Taking an Obsolete Drug/No NDC

Prescribers can add an obsolete drug, or a drug that has no National Drug Code (NDC), to the patient's Active Medications list using the Med Entry tab. This can be useful if you want to document that a patient is taking a drug with no NDC, such as marijuana, or a brand name that is no longer in production, such as Vioxx or Coumadin.
