Dispensing Insulin 3ml Penfills

The units of dispensing for insulin penfills are mls, but you can enter in the number of cartridges by typing in ‘C’ after the quantity to denote cartridges. The computer will then translate the number of cartridges into mls, e.g. if you want 7 cartridges, type in 7C which will translate the quantity to 21ml.

Note: as a rule of thumb, the quantity is always the basic units e.g. ml or g or unit. Refer to the unit displayed next to the quantity box of a rx if unsure. Units of measure are automatically adjusted at the time of claiming to suit MoH requirements.
