PSYMED
======
Keys required to navigate PSYMED *
are primarily the UP, DOWN *
arrow keys, and the PAGE UP and *
PAGE DOWN keys. *
Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to *
move the shaded bar over the *
selection desired and press ENTER. *
PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys are used *
during PSYMED SCAN searches to go *
to next page of choices. PAGE *
DOWN goes forward, PAGE UP goes *
backward. ESC exits all functions. *
Selections can also be made from *
the "top" primary menu by using *
the first letter of the selection. *
I.e. Brandname search, use "B". *
** TYPES OF SEARCHES **
There are two types of searches *
made for a medication. Specific *
or General. *
With a Specific search, you key *
in the exact spelling of the *
medication desired. *
With a General search, PSYMED will *
display a special "scan" screen *
and allow you to view various *
medications that fit your *
particular search category. *
A search for a drug definition may ********************
be made based on the following *
criteria:
Brand Name - (B) :
****************
If you know the particular Brand *
name, i.e. THORAZINE, select entry
"B". Key in the name and
PSYMED will bring up the drug *
definition.
Generic Name - (G) :
****************** *
A generic name search is similar *
in procedure to a brand name search.*
Key in the Generic name, i.e.
Chlorpromazine for a psymed search. *
You may also key in a partial
spelling of the generic name and
PSYMED will find any "matched"
medications.
Partial Word Search - (P)
*******************
If you only know a few of the *
letters of a brand name, *
a partial search will allow *
you to key in what you know. *
Psymed will search for a drug match *
and display all occurances found. *
You may select any "found" drugs *
for display. *
Category - (C)

Use this type of psymed search if *
you are looking for a particular *
drug (name unknown) within a *
defined category - such as *
antidepressants, antipsychotics,etc.*

various categories of drugs. *
List All - (L)

This option will list all drugs *
within the PSYMED database. You *
may select any listed drugs for a *
complete definition. Drugs are *
listed alphabetically. *
