Thank you for your suggestion ! 

I think currently we have the required fields for that
functionality, although the display might be clearer. 
As an example, we could say
The quantity (eg capsules) is in the field "x" (eg, number of capsules)

I think that we can make the Units field at the end a function.
Today, GNU Health can automatically calculate the number of capsules for
the whole treatment period, so no need to enter it by hand.

What do you think ?

Best
