# How do I write and print a prescription?

> Create a prescription from the patient's chart, add each medicine, then save or print it.

**Short answer:** in the patient's **Chart**, click **+** → **Prescription**, add each medicine with **Add Medication**, then click **Create** or **Print**.

**1. Open a new prescription**

In the patient's **Chart**, click **+** (next to the tabs under the chart) → **Prescription**. You can also use **+** in the top bar → **New Prescription**.

**2. Check the doctor**

Check the **Doctor**. To start from a ready-made prescription, choose it in **Prescription Templates**.

**3. Add each medicine**

Type the **Medication Name**, then the **Type**, **Method**, **Dosage / Day**, **Duration (Days)** and a **Note** such as "after meals". Click **Add Medication**.

**4. Save or print**

Click **Create** to save it, or **Print**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Click **Add Medication** for **each** medicine. Anything typed but not added isn't saved, and **Create** stays disabled until at least one medicine is listed.

> [!TIP]
>
> Save medicines you use often in **Settings → Templates → Medications**. The print layout is set in **Settings → Print → Prescription Form**.
