Add a Regimen

The regimen forms the basis of the treatment monitoring system. The regimen details are used to populate the Adherence Calendar with treatment dose details and send dose reminders. A regimen is made up of drug schedules. Multiple drugs may be added to the same drug schedule if they have the same schedule frequency. Drugs that differ in schedule frequency may be added to sub-sequential drug schedules.
