Dispense a Script Using eRx

eRx provides a secure and safe transmission of prescription information between doctors and pharmacists.

Below is an example of an eRx barcode at the bottom of a script.

To dispense a script using eRx:

  1. Scan the script barcode. The eRx script details populate the fields in Fred Dispense, including new patient and new doctor information, if relevant.

  2. Edit the directions if needed.
  3. Check that the script details are accurate and then finalise the dispensing. See Get Started with Dispensing for more details.

If the prescription included repeats, the repeat form will be printed with a new eRx barcode for the next dispense.
