Prescriptions

Issue prescriptions straight from the patient record: list the medications in a structured way, add the diagnosis and instructions, and generate a prescription with a folio, electronic seal and optional doctor's signature, ready to print or save as a PDF with your clinic's branding.

Available on every plan. Admin, Front desk, Doctor and Assistant can create them (the Lab role has no access).

Issue a prescription

1. Open the patient record and go to the 💊 Prescriptions tab.
2. Click ＋ New prescription.
3. Pick the Doctor (their license fills in automatically) and check the License number.
4. Enter the Diagnosis (optional).
5. Add one or more Medications, each with: name, dose/presentation, frequency and duration. Use ＋ Add medication for more rows.
6. Write the General instructions (optional) and click Create prescription.

Each prescription gets a yearly sequential folio (for example RX-2026-0001) and is saved in the patient's record.

The doctor's license number

The license is saved once per doctor in Administration → Users, in the field Professional license (shown on prescriptions). When you pick the doctor on a prescription, the license fills in automatically (you can still edit it there). See Users, roles & multi-location.

The doctor's signature

Every prescription carries two signature safeguards:

• Automatic electronic signature: on creation, the system stamps it with the date, time and a seal (hash) of the content. If the text changed, the seal would no longer match — proof the prescription wasn't altered. Nothing to do on your part.
• Handwritten signature (optional): click ✍️ on the prescription to draw the signature with a finger or mouse and save it. It prints above the doctor's name.

Print or save as PDF

Click 🖨️ to open the printable version (A5 size). It includes your clinic's logo and details, the sanitary notice (COFEPRIS), the sanitary officer and their license, the folio, the patient, the diagnosis, the medication table, the instructions and the signature with its electronic seal. From the browser dialog you can print it or save it as a PDF.

The prescription is not sent automatically by WhatsApp or email: you print it or save the PDF and hand it to the patient.

Notes

• The folio is unique per year and per clinic; it is never reused.
• If the doctor has no license saved under Users, type it in on the prescription.
• Controlled-medication prescriptions are handled on the official paper pad, outside the system.
