When ready generate your report. In addition, when you fill a new prescription, BestRx will search for an older prescription for an equivalent drug. If one is found and that prescription already has Dosage Info linked to it, the software will prompt and ask if you would like to copy that dosage info over to the new prescription. This will save time by eliminating unnecessary data entry.
