For a short-term medication, like an antibiotic, you can add the start and end date for the medication all at once so you don't have to go back into the system on the date it ends. Here's how:

• Add the medication into Med History like you would normally add the medication. Set the Effective Date to be the date that the medication started. Enter the dosage/frequency/route as noted per the prescription.
• Save and Exit. The medication should be selected.
• Click the Add button from the right panel. Change the Effective Date to be the date that the medication will end (this is the first day that the medication will NOT be taken; the day after the course is complete). This date can be in the future.
• Click the Discontinue (Stop Med) button.
• The medication should now have two listings: one for the start date, and a STOP for the end date. You've entered everything for this med and will not need to revisit it later.
