Feature: Unit sizes

If you're writing a prescription to taper down from 10mg, 1 per week, should you just prescribe a bunch of 1mg pills? 10 pills every day of the first week, 9 pills every day of the second week, etc? Or should you prescribe 2 5mg every day of the first week, then 1 5 and 4 1s?

• Do the unit sizes afford cutting the pill into ½ or ¼?
• Should you just prescribe a bunch of 1mg pills?
• Or send some 5s and then some 1s? How many?

Proposed solution:

• Make a list of common meds and available sizes
• Allow choosing from common medications
• Allow adding or toggling specific unit sizes
  • Some patients prefer pills of the same size
• Factor in cutting ½ or ¼
• Toggle allowing cutting
  • Some patients prefer not cutting pills
