Adding Homely Remedies

Adding Homely Remedies

Medication Management allows you to add your organisations approved list of Homely Remedies for administration purposes. A homely remedy is a non-prescription medicine that is available over the counter in community pharmacies. They can be used in a care home (with and without nursing) for the short-term management of minor, self-limiting conditions, e.g. headache, cold symptoms, cough, mild diarrhoea, occasional pain.
