DROXIA 200MG CAPMAXALT 10MG) upon leaving the single entry field by pressing ‘TAB’ or
‘ENTER:
• MG
• ML
• CAP
• MCG
• TAB

Or if the following text combinations strings are found in a single medicine entry (e.g. aspirin
5mg triamcinolone acetonide .5% ointment) upon leaving the single entry field by pressing
‘TAB’ or ‘ENTER:
⦁ MG and %
⦁ MCG and MG
Display a separate pop-up below the field that triggered the soft check with the message:
“Verify only one medicine per field is entered. If entry is a compound medicine (medicine
label lists two or more different medicines) select ‘Suppress’. If entry error was made, select
‘GoTo’ and re-enter each medicine in a separate field. Press ‘TAB’ between each separate
entry.”
At the top of the pop-up above the message, display the medicine that triggered the soft
check. With the text string that triggered the check displayed in bold.
Prescribed Medicine Soft Check Flag (PMedSoftChk):
The purpose of this flag is to ensure that once the soft check is triggered, that particular entry
row will not trigger the soft check again, even when the text entry of the field has changed.
The flag records whether the interviewer selected “Suppress” or “GoTo”. Suppressing the
soft check may not indicate that the medicine is a compound drug as a medicine name could
have the targeted text string in both the form/strength and drug name, such as “captopril
capsule”. When the interviewer selects ‘GoTo’ to return to the field to make a correction, the
soft check will not run again to check the entry.
Pressing ‘tab’ then selecting ‘Suppress’ or ‘GoTo’ closes the soft check pop-up and moves the
cursor to the next empty field.
Pressing ‘enter’ then selecting ‘Suppress’ closes the soft check pop-up and moves the focus
