Medicines

The Medicines page is your clinic's medication catalog — the list of drugs your team maintains and prescribes from during visits. Keeping it tidy means faster, more consistent prescriptions.

The medicine list

Each medicine shows its name, form, strength, category, a default dose (amount · frequency · route), how often it's been prescribed (usage), and any notes. To find one quickly you can:

• Search by name or code.
• Filter by category or form.
• Sort by name (A–Z or Z–A) or by most prescribed.

Adding a medicine

1. Open New Medicine

   Click New Medicine to open the form.

2. Enter the essentials

   Give it a unique code and a name — both required.

3. Add details

   Optionally set the generic name, form, strength, category, and manufacturer (company).

4. Set a default dose

   Add a default amount, unit, frequency, and route so prescriptions pre-fill sensibly.

5. Save

   Add any notes (and optionally link a medical rep), then save.

Edit a medicine with the pencil on its row, or remove it with the trash icon (you'll be asked to confirm).

Prescribing from the catalog

When a doctor prescribes a medicine on a visit, it's drawn from this catalog and its default dose pre-fills — they can still adjust it for the patient. Each medicine also tracks its usage (how many times it's been prescribed), which powers the "most prescribed" sort. See Visits for the examination workflow.
