    ** 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.   *
