Scopolamine patch - new packaging

Good Morning,
We are having quite a discussion about how to build scopolamine patch whose outer wrapping information was recently changed by manufacturers to depict, more accurately, how much drug gets delivered in 72 hours (or how they put it in 3 days).
Any institutions made the change in their CPOE yet? Curious how you handled it.
Did you leave the build as is and put a note in admin instructions " each patch delivers 1 mG/72 hours"
Or, you completely rebuilt CPOE generic item to reflect packaging change?
Thanks,
Marina.
