Medical Prescriptions

Medical prescriptions are official documents issued by licensed medical professionals, such as doctors, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants, that authorize a patient to obtain a specific medication or treatment. The prescription typically includes details such as the patient’s name, the medication name, dosage, route of administration, and duration of treatment. It may also contain instructions for the pharmacist on how to dispense the medication, specific instructions for the patient, and refills if applicable. Medical prescriptions are crucial for ensuring that patients receive appropriate medications safely and effectively and are a key component of patient care in the healthcare system.
