You’ve probably had this happen in your office recently: a patient calls wanting a refill on their pain medication, but you can’t remember what you prescribed or when. There’s no need to try and remember which drug was prescribed, or dosage amounts, or if your patient recently received a refill from you. The Prescriptions module in Dentrix keeps track of all this information for you. And when you refill a prescription, you have the option to change the dosage or dispensing instructions or keep the same settings as when it was last prescribed.

Additional Tips
- The Health History button is available within the Patient Prescriptions dialog box (in the upper-right corner), allowing you to check for drug allergies or other health history conditions before you create a prescription for a patient. If the Health History cross is red, click the button to check the patient’s health history.
- To learn more about refilling prescriptions, read Refilling Patient Prescriptions in Dentrix Help.
