Treatment compositions

The Treatment Compositions feature is designed to configure dispensing packages—collections of specific items (drugs) and their quantities to be dispensed (given out) to subjects when they come for their visit. Having these packages ready helps medical staff to dispense items accurately when the subject treatment consists of various medications that they have to receive.
