Drug Menus
There are two variants of the drug product menu page. The first is the
hierarchy menu which is based on the Read codes for
drug products. All the items within a group are listed; any item that is
itself a group it indicated as such with the tag "(group)" following the
name. The other items are individual products.
The other is the keyword menu. This lists all the
items that match the original search keyword.

option on the search panel and leaving the keyword field blank. Clicking
on any group item will display the hierarchy menu for that group within
the hierarchy. Clicking on a non-group item in the list will display the
drug information page for the selected drug product.
Keyword Menu

panel and entering one or more keyword. The matching items may be either
individual drug products or a product group. Clicking on a product group
will display the drug hierarchy menu for that group. clicking on a product
item will display the drug information page for
