View the Dispensing History

The patient's dispensing history from Fred Dispense is automatically displayed in the Patient Medication Profile screen. The following information is shown:

• The first date the medication was dispensed
• The last date the medication was dispensed
• How many times the medication has been dispensed
• The Brand name and the Generic name for the drug
• The directions entered for the medication the last time it was dispensed

Use the green arrows to change the order included medications print on the profile. When an excluded medication is selected the arrows will be disabled.

In the medication list, note the following:
