## Important Notes

* All fields marked with an asterisk (\*) are required
* Medication names should follow your organization's naming conventions
* The system automatically calculates regular and member pricing based on cost and compare-at prices
* New medications are set to "Active" status by default
* Stock level starts at 0 - you'll need to add inventory separately

## Next Steps

After creating a medication, you may want to:

* [Edit medication details](/how-to/pharmacy-management/edit-medication)
* [Update pricing information](/how-to/pharmacy-management/edit-medication-prices)
* Add stock inventory using the "Add/Adjust Stock" button
