Labeling oral solutions in the MAR

Hello,

Has anyone reviewed their oral solutions labeling in the MAR and revised them? Ours are inconsistent and some list the strength per 5 mL, strength per single mL, no concentration at all, etc. Of note, this is referring specifically to MAR name for a patient-specific order, not referring to the actual label on the cup or the patient-specific label attached to the cup.

Thanks!
