ADD NOTES WINDOW
In the Add Notes window, you can add notes to the prescribed medication.
Pharmacies print a copy of the medications and their associated notes when the patient comes in to fill the prescription.
Suggested notes include:
- Number of doses per day
- Whether the dose should be taken with or without meals
- Special instructions before or after taking the dose
- Whether the medication requires test results before taking
To view this window: Prescription tab > Under the medication entry you want to add a note > Add Note (blue Plus)
