Default Re: accurately checking prescriptions

Hi there,

I find that what you have in front of you is three components - the Rx, the box and the label you have printed. The way I do it is to put the box next to or on the top of the prescription with the label facing up - then do a simple 1-2-3 to check the Rx, box and label ... i.e Amoxicillin-Amoxicillin-Amoxicillin (hard to describe in words but it works for me!). Same when checking the legality - I count out the components of the script (Name, Address, Quantity, Drug ...)
