Prescriptions & favourites

Writing a prescription

Prescriptions are written inside a visit. Search the medicines registry — Angel ships the Egyptian drug registry, matched to your clinic's country — and add each item with dose, frequency and duration. For the drug the registry doesn't carry — a new brand, an import, a compounded preparation — you can type it in yourself; see when the registry lacks a drug.

Safety checks

As you prescribe, Angel checks the patient's allergies and known drug interactions and warns before the item lands. The warnings are aids, not authorities: you can override one, and the override is recorded. Turning these checks off entirely is an owner-level decision recorded in the audit trail — see Prescribing safety.

The prescription PDF

Every finalized visit's prescription renders as a PDF — clinic header, patient, items, doctor's name — ready to print or send by WhatsApp to the patient. Arabic renders properly. Under a lapsed subscription the PDF stays readable; only sending is paused.

Favourites — your templates

A favourite is a prescription you save once and reuse: the antibiotic course you write five times a day, the hypertension starter combo. Applying a favourite fills the visit's prescription in one step — then adjust for the patient in front of you. The prescription is yours: your name goes on it regardless of whose template started it.

There are two ways to make one, on web and on the phone alike:

• Save what you've just written. Once the visit's prescription has a complete line on it, Save as favourite turns it into a template — name it, decide whether to share it, done.
• Build one in Favourites. Same form, starting from nothing.

Either way the template can hold a typed drug as readily as a registry one — useful for the import you reach for every week. When you search for a medicine while building a template, Angel offers the registry first and then the drugs this clinic has typed before, so an off-registry brand is picked from a list rather than spelt out again from memory.

Applying a favourite never duplicates a drug. Anything already on the visit's prescription is skipped, and Angel tells you what it did — "3 medicines added, 1 already on this prescription". So combining two templates, or applying one twice by accident, is safe. Adding the same drug twice by hand is still allowed: a tapering course is two lines of one drug on purpose.

Shared templates

A favourite can be shared with the clinic. Colleagues see it in their picker under clinic templates, labeled "Added by Dr. …" so it's clear whose regimen it is. Only the doctor who created a template can edit or delete it — a shared template you didn't create shows who added it instead of edit and delete actions.
