Save instructions for medications

When adding a medication to any smartflow sheet with any template, we would like for instructions to be saved for that medication, eg whenever we add enrofloxacin we would like the instructions displayed as "Dilute 1:4 and give over 20 mins", or for any type of insulin "Confirm dose with vet before administering". Some vets or our newer nurses don't know these things, but are very good at reading instructions!

    @Smartflow - this is unfortunately not helpful, as every single patient has different requirements, and even patients with the same disease will be on different medications (for example, having a "diabetic" template wouldn't be useful as there are many types of insulin, many patients not even on insulin, differences in timing and more). The requirement we have, and that I have had for the last 10 years, is a standardised instruction for individual medications.

    If a medication is saved to a template - and that note is placed in the instructions/notes of the medication that note will be saved and will display everytime the template is loaded.
