Let's understand it with scenario
Imagine a scenario. As a pharmacist, what do you do when a customer comes to you with a prescription, and the same medicine is not available in your inventory???
Indeed you look for the same medicine in another brand, or you give another drug of the same salt to the customer.
Last, what is meant by the "same salt" here!!!
Each medicine has a salt name by which it is known in the healthcare industry.
Medications of the same salt or salt combination are available in the market. If that medicine is not found in one brand, the pharmacist gives the medicine of another brand of the same salt to the patients.
This is a procedure that every pharmacist follows when the medicine is not in stock.
Apart from this, there are also some banned medicines that cannot be given without a doctor's prescription. The government bans this medication to avoid any harmful situation. This way, the maintenance of such a brand is also a significant task.
To overcome all such problems, pharmacy software allows the creation or upload of generic names of medicines. So that quick information about other alternative medicines can be available.
SwilERP: Solution to Handle Generic Drug Inventory
SwilERP helps its retail pharmacy user in handling drugs by its generic name. For this, the software has the following features:
Product Information Feature
The product information feature allows software users to create generic names for the respective medicines. The feature also provides an Edit option to edit the information of pre-existing generic names.

Report: Generic Wise Price List
In this report, software users can view " Generic Wise Price List". Here, you can view reports in three different ways - All, Current, and Different and easily get information on the screen.

Report: "Generic Wise Products"
Another report you can view and analyze is "Generic Wise Products." Here you will see all the products and their generic names mentioned. This helps you with the quick identification of generic products in one place.

This way, the SwilERP software helps pharmacists get the right drug information. It ensures the pharmacist delivers the right medicine at the right time to its valuable customers.
Wrapping Up
Generic medicine handling is a crucial process for every pharmacist. It gives accurate drug information to the pharmacy business and protects the pharmacy from any health-related customer issues. This allows you to do easy salt management and keep an eye on the sale of restricted drugs.
