Salt Form Display in Medical Record

How does your EMR display salt forms in the EPIC display name. For example, with calcium carbonate 1,250mg. In the order name in EPIC when the physician is ordering what does it state.

Calcium Carbonate 1,250mg OR

CALCIUM CARBONATE 1,250 MG (500 MG ELEMENTAL CALCIUM) TABLET

We currently have in the administration instructions:
1250mg =500mg Elemental Calcium

Thank you,
Sara
