## Direct Issue vs Issue Discharge Medicines

These two pages look similar but charge differently:

| | **Direct Issue to BHTs** (this page) | **Issue Discharge Medicines** |
|---|---|---|
| Used for | Medicines given **during** the ward stay | **Take-home** medicines at discharge |
| Charge | Retail rate **plus** the inward price-matrix service charge (margin) | Retail rate only — **no service charge** |
| Privilege | Direct Issue to BHT | Pharmacy Discharge Medicine Issue |

Both draw stock from your logged-in pharmacy and both appear in the inward/pharmacy reports and the interim bill. See [Issue Discharge Medicines](Inpatient-Issue-Discharge-Medicines) for the discharge workflow.
