Writing prescriptions

Create prescriptions using the patient information, medications, and indications listed below. Your goal is to demonstrate the accurate way to write a prescription that a patient would present to a pharmacy. The prescription should be written and signed. You will develop your mock prescriptions in a word document to include everything one might find on a printed prescription pad. You will write one prescription per page.

To write your prescriptions, please use the following patient information:

• Patient Name: Jane Doe
• DOB 1/1/2001
• Duration: 3 months

Write a prescription for each of the following medications:

• Sertraline, 100mg each day (depression)
• Lorazepam, 1mg twice each day, if needed (panic attacks)
• Aripiprazole, 2mg before bedtime (depression)
• Methylphenidate ER, 54mg every morning before school (ADHD)

Be sure to include all of the relevant Rx info – quantity dispensed, refills, etc. etc.  The examples you submit should look like a real-life written Rx that a patient would hand to a retail pharmacy.
