Calculating Days Supply is Not really as hard as it seems... by: Stuart
Michelle, you calculate BD Pen needles days supply basically the same way you would as for tablets, capsules, or liquids... that is to say that you would divide the maximum amount of (medication, etc) BD Pen needles your customer would use in one day into the total amount of (medication, etc) BD Pen needles dispensed (usually 100/box, I believe) to get your days supply.
For example, if your customer injected his Pen insulin twice daily, you would divide your dispensed amount (usually 100/box) by 2, making your days supply 50.
