Once you save prescriptions to your favourite list (see Saving your favourite medications), you can quickly create a prescription by selecting a medication from your list of favourite medications. You can choose from your favourite medications list before starting a prescription, or while creating a prescription.

In the prescription writer, when you search for a medication to prescribe any matching favourite medications display at the top of the search results with a heart, together with your clinic-wide medication formulary, marked with a star. You can also search by the Favourite Display Name. See Creating prescriptions.
​
📌 Note: You have the option to remove your clinic-wide medication formulary (starred) from the list of medications. From the Prescription setting, select Exclude Formulary medications from the medications search results.
​

1. In the Prescriptions area of an encounter, click the heart icon to Add Medications from My Favourites.

Or, if you have started a new prescription, in the prescription dialog, click my favourites.
​

2. Select the checkbox beside the medication(s) you want to prescribe and click Save.

💡 Tip: If your list is long, use the Search Favourites field to find your medication.

3. Make any necessary changes to the prescription details, such as dose, refills, and instructions.
