Submit a prescription

1

Find a compound

Use the category rail or search bar to locate a compound. Click a row to expand configuration options.
2

Configure and add to cart

Set strength, quantity, directions, and any required fields. Click Add to cart for each line item.
3

Select a patient

Choose an existing patient or create a new one in the patient context panel. Enter or update allergies — ScriptPad warns you if a formulary ingredient conflicts with recorded allergies.
4

Set order options

Choose Standard or Rush urgency. Rush orders use your pharmacy’s faster turnaround timeline.
5

Send Rx

Review your cart and click Send Rx. A confirmation dialog shows your reference number, patient, items, estimated ready date, and delivery status.

​
After submission

Your order is saved immediately and appears in your pharmacy’s queue. ScriptPad also:
  • Assigns a reference number (RX-YYMMDD-NNNN)
  • Calculates an estimated ready date based on urgency and your pharmacy’s turnaround settings
  • Sends a PDF to your pharmacy via fax and/or SFTP when those channels are configured
Use the confirmation dialog to Copy reference, View order, or Start new.

​
Keyboard shortcuts

The compound catalog supports keyboard navigation — use arrow keys to move through items and Enter to expand or select.
Check Pharmacist Notes before sending when your pharmacy has left guidance about a patient. Notes may include formulary preferences or clinical considerations.
