another automatically depending on the entered value.
The units for each drug are as follows:
îš„ Drug A, B, C, Aminophylline, Dobutamine, Dopamine, Epinephrine, Isuprel,
Lidocaine, Nipride and NItroglycerin use the unit series: g, mg and mcg.
îš„ Drug D, Heparin and Pitocin uses the unit series: Unit, KU (kilo units) and MU
