The pharmacy

The Pharmacy screen has Sell medicine, Receive stock, What to reorder, the Expiry report, and cards for batches in stock, expiring within 30 days, expired, and prescriptions waiting.

Handing over a prescription

When you run both apps, the Prescriptions tab lists every visit with a medicine not yet handed over: the patient, their allergies, the doctor, each medicine with how to take it, how many to give and what is on the shelf in date.

• Hand over marks it given, by whom and when. Stock leaves once, when the visit is billed, first to expire first.
• Bill and hand over does both, for a pharmacy that takes the money itself.
• Print labels gives a label for each medicine with the patient, the dose and the date.

Medicines and controlled drugs

Under Pharmacy → Medicines give each medicine its generic name, strength, form and schedule. A controlled medicine is always prescription-only. Substitutes (same generic and strength, in stock) show here, and you can check several medicines together for a prescription from outside.

Pharmacy → Controlled drugs is the register: opening balance, every unit in and out, the running balance, who it went to and on what prescription. It is read from the stock itself, so it cannot disagree with the shelf. Print it for an inspection.

Selling to an insurer at the counter

A pharmacy without a clinic can sell to an insurer too: Sale to an insurer on the Pharmacy screen. The patient's share is paid at the counter, the rest becomes a claim under Insurance. Expiry and prescription-only rules still apply.
